Maseru
At King Moshoeshoe I’s declaration (the Founder of the Basotho Nation) , in 1869 Maseru changed from being a small trading town on the western border of Lesotho to being the capital of the Basotho nation. The capital, Maseru is only 1 hour by air or 4 hours by road from Johannesburg, fast becoming Africa’s business hub, 600 km from Durban South Africa’s busiest harbour, and 1-hour drive from Bloemfontein; the latter two of which are host cities for the upcoming 2010 World Cup Soccer.
Maseru centre is compact, smart and fashionable. It has good shops, restaurants and hotels, and vibrant people. Most of the action happens on Kingsway, the main road that runs through the town.
