Abstract The Thaba Bosiu plateau is the historical heart of Lesotho. King Moshoeshoe I united the Basuto people during the 1820s and retreated to this area to prevent the annihilation of his people during wars that swept across South Africa. Eventually King Moshoeshoe I signed a treaty with Queen Victoria and his country, called Basutoland, was made a British protectorate. The small country of Lesotho is completely surrounded by South Africa.
