Introduction

Several unique landmarks can be seen around the capital of Maseru, a striking contrast to the modernization taking place. Getting around the city poses no obvious headaches thanks to the 'Kingsway,' the city's main road that passes through the city's three sections which are serviced by one central bus terminal. There are also plenty of taxis making regular trips around each section. One can easily make their way from one end of the section to another in about 15-20 minutes in little traffic.

Lesotho has a thriving arts scene. dancing, singing, crafts, costumes and traditional ceremonies are still being performed, the culmination of which is the Morija Arts & Cultural Festival—a prominent Sesotho arts and music festival that is held annually in the town of Morija.

The attire of the locals revolves around the Basotho blanket which is made mostly out of wool and prominent throughout the country any time of the year.

A large majority of the people of Lesotho are Christians, estimated to be around 90-percent of the population, with Roman Catholics the largest. Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Baha'i and those still practicing traditional indigenous beliefs make up the other 10-percent of the population. The Christian churches are also heavily invested in Lesotho's education system where they own and manage over three quarters of all primary and secondary schools.
