Basotho Culture with Lesedi FM

The majority of Sesotho speakers reside in the Free State Province and Gauteng Province (77.5%). Sesotho describes the language and not the people who are known as the Basotho. The Basotho are also known as the Southern Sotho. Chief Moshoeshoe I is the reputed founder of the Sotho nation (including Sepedi and SeTswana speakers) in the mid to late 1700's. The Chief united many Nguni and Sotho clans after the devastating wars of Difaqane (Shaka's programme of expansion and nation building) into what is now known as the Kingdom of Lesotho, including the Free State and southern Gauteng regions. In 1884, Lesotho became a British protectorate and became an independent country in 1966. The arrival of missionaries, Boer settlers and the incorporation into the monetary economy impacted on the Basotho social life and worldview. Most converted to Christianity and developed a strong literary tradition. Democracy was established with difficulty in Lesotho, with the first elected leader being eventually removed by coup in 1986. From 1990, a new period of elective government began.

I’m so grateful to KZbin and content providers like your station to giving me a peek into someone else’s culture and world. Without people like you, my experience would be way more limited. Thanks from a mostly homebound woman in Texas. Take care of your health and God bless you.

[@MissTso]

"Real sotho" culture?Haibo Ausi so you mean to tell me hore our culture in South Africa is not Real?😂😂😂Please don't be that person coz haaa ke lenyatso mos that yho Bathong

[@OleMariusSvendsen]

May i ask the comentary section for some recomendation for more video of basotho and sotho history? I want to pay my wife respect to learn more on her culture.

[@MissTso]

Did you find what you were looking for?🤗even here on KZbin you can simply search for "Basotho culture" and scroll through the vids

[@OleMariusSvendsen]

@@MissTso No i find it hard to find something more in depth on important days, sermonies, what is different with lesoto culture and basotho, etc.

[@MissTso]

@@OleMariusSvendsen ok so what would you like to know?🤗I hope I can help coz I'm sotho but not from Lesotho,I'm from South Africa so there's not much I know

[@OleMariusSvendsen]

@@MissTso Custumes, and important belives on raising familes. How is the man in the house, and the woman. What is their roles, how is the teaching of love and family? I know there are a woman hood sermony, tho what is learned in these, and for the men? What are baiases in the culture, as i am starting to learn how i am programed to think as a norwegian. How is the teaching on marrige, and the sermonies around this. Ebola money, the thought behind it, why is it in place, the language and its development. Where in South Africa is the most comen lesoto areas to live in and why, is there any dissegrements with the other clans, what is the etic teaching given in Soto?

[@MissTso]

@@OleMariusSvendsen Wow you really wanna learn ey😯well I'm still young and some of the things I still don't know so I'll answer the ones I know or at least understand a little bit...Sotho people have various costumes but we are identified by our blankets and hats as well as seshweshwe(dress worn by women),beliefs differ based on the person but we've got many of those too,which is why it will be better to get that answer from your woman coz what I say might not be what she believes.But Our cultures are all about togetherness mostly,that say that goes like *it takes a village to raise a kid* we take those seriously,Men are treated as the head of the family,they provide and all that whereas women take care of the family by raising the kids,cooking for the man and kids etc but nowadays women work too and some can't really multitask so🤷🏾‍♀️Well we do have Lebollo(initiation school)for men and women but we don't discuss these with people who have never been there coz it's supposed to be a secret but basically you go there to learn more about womanhood and stuff,Lobola is very important because not only is it a way of starting some sort of relationship between the families,it's also paid to honour the parents for raising your future wife and bring dignity into that family.well in South Africa Sotho people are mostly found in the Free State Province,
