The beginning of August marks the Basotho New Year in recognition of nature’s way of giving new life after a dry winter season., west of Johannesburg, late last month. “It’s very important for us as Basotho nation to celebrate this New Year because it helps us as a nation to teach our youth the knowledge and indigenous systems of how our elderly people were living and were behaving during those olden days.”
