Leribe District

Leribe District is best known within Lesotho for Hlotse, the administrative centre of this northern district. Much of its western edge follows the Caledon River, known in Sesotho as the Mohokare, opposite South Africa’s Free State, while the land rises eastward toward the Maloti Mountains. Hlotse and nearby Maputsoe concentrate shops, services and road links, giving Leribe a more commercial character than many rural parts of Lesotho. Beyond the towns, cultivated fields and scattered settlements occupy the highland terrain. The district belongs to Lesotho’s Basotho heartland, where Sesotho shapes daily life and traditional blankets remain a recognisable form of dress.
