The diaspora of Basotho from Lesotho is never observed.  I was recently in the presence of Basotho from the early 80s from what was then the repressive government.

I cannot contrast this with the exodus of South Africans to Lesotho when our country was in turmoil. It appeared to me that South African Government  during apartheid was more oppressive.  Why then would Basotho cross Mohokare (Caledon River) into  South Africa.
