Cultural Practices

 The Basotho largely relied on agriculture and animal husbandry for their food supply. Men and boys would tend to the animals and their well-being while women worked the fields and collected water from springs. Sotho people conducted an Initiation school, which was a rite of passage.

Their Unique Culture

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 woollen blankets, often with beautiful patterns.
