The kingdom of Lesotho is a mountainous enclave in southern Africa, and like mountain zones throughout the world, it is isolated, steeped in tradition, and home to few outsiders. The people, known as Basotho, are respected in the area as the only tribe never to be defeated by European colonizers.
Greg Alder arrived in Tsoeneng as the village’s first foreign resident since 1966. Alder lives in San Diego and teaches at UCSD’s English Language Institute.
