1st photo is of the village that the Basotho People used to hide from the boers and opposing parties, the flat mountain is called Thaba-bosui, which the boers named with a superstition that the mountain grew at night. The pointy one is Mount-Qiloane, the mountain behind the famous basotho hat Mokorotlo/Molihanyeoe.

The Basotho houses

The traditional Lesotho house is called a mokhoro and being built in the rondavel style is usually round and made with local materials. The walls will often be constructed from stones held together with a mortar of sand and soil mixed with dung. The floor is finished with a tamped dung mixture with loom soil to make it smooth. Walls inside and outside are finished with loom soil mixed with tamped dung to make it smooth, clay soil is used mostly for colouring. Basotho women like art, so most houses will have different artworks outside. The process of collecting loom soil from the dongas, fetching water, collecting stones, adding finishing touches to the house is mostly done by women.

The roof is thatched, with; Mohiomo: (Common Lesotho name) or Thatching grass: (Common English name) or Hyparrhenia hirta: (Scientific name). And poles cut from the trees.
This process can take as little as one weekend or up to a year when made by a skilled artisan who will sewn in one section at a time, starting from the bottom working towards the top. As each section is sewn, it may be weathered and aged in so as to form a complete weatherproof seal.

Nuges11: First of, I'd like to say a big thank you to the brain behind this competition, Mazi, big ups bro, you're much appreciated.

To the judges, wow, you guys are more than awesome. Making time out of no time to read through piles of stories, critique and grade each story is no child's play at all, and you guys did an excellent job at it. Kudos.

I must mention that I've gained so much here, and I'm very sure other contestants have learnt one thing or the other too.

Ms_Fibre, Royver, Oma4u and T-Flow, you guys were simply spectacular, I wanna write like you guys when I grow up smiley . Royver, I read your other story, The Altercation, and I couldn't help but marvel at the way you paint vivid pictures with words, it was a privilege competing with you bro.

To the spectators, God bless you for following. SirElaw, thanks for the moral support, you're loved.
Please Pm me sir.

Nice one but maybe you could change a few things. Here we could have a day thing instead of a night thing, and by the way the guy is not a mod.
