Extractions: Maseru - Culture The Basotho people have developed a unique culture. As one of the few African tribes living in a mountainous environment, they have made many adaptations to their conditions. The Basotho blanket is one example. All around the country you will see people dressed in woolen blankets, often with beautiful patterns. This is the ideal garment for a cold environment, and also has the versatility of keeping the rain off. Villages are often located high in the mountains, usually on the mid-levels well above the deep river valleys and the flood dangers they carry. Villages are very structured. They are made up of a number of kraals, ie. a collection of buildings belonging to one family. Some are for sleeping, some for storage and one for cooking. Each kraal will also have an enclosure for livestock. Each village has a chief, or headman, who will fall under the chief for the area. The Basotho are agriculturalists. All around the village will be many fields and these are allocated by the chief to villagers. Many crops are cultivated including maize, wheat, sorghum, beans and peas as well as vegetables such as onions and cabbage. Many local herbs are also gathered as green vegetables, which the Basotho call Moroho. Animals are very important in Basotho society. The Basotho pony represents the best form of transport in the mountains, and donkeys are often used as pack animals. Most families will have some cattle, and oxen are used to plough the sloping mountain fields. Wool is a major source of income both from Memo sheep and mohair from Angora goats, and you will see many herds of both deep in the mountains. They are looked after by shepherds, often young boys, who live in simple huts called motebo, often perched on ridges at well over 3000m and very well hidden.

The history of the Library is closely associated with that of the University, which was initially founded as the Pius XII College, in April, 1945 ( see history of NUL below ). Since then the Library has gone through a lot of changes and developments. Its present building was built with funds provided by the World Council of Churches and the World University Services and was officially opened on 1st April, 1966. The library mission statement (quoted from the Library Plan, which has just been prepared by the University Librarian) is as follows: As the principal information resource for the University community of staff, students and researchers, the Thomas Mofolo Library provides a dynamic information service to its clientele in order to give practical meaning to the University's purpose as a centre of excellence in learning, teaching and research.
