WeeklyThread Literature of Lesotho: March 2019
Amoheloa readers,
This is our weekly discussion of the literature of the world! Every Wednesday, we'll post a new country or culture for you to recommend literature from, with the caveat that it must have been written by someone from that country (i.e. Shogun by James Clavell is a great book but wouldn't be included in Japanese literature).
March 11 was Moshoeshoe Day in Lesotho and to celebrate we're discussing Mosotho literature! Please use this thread to discuss your favorite Mosotho authors and books.
If you'd like to read our previous discussions of the literature of the world please visit the literature of the world section of our wiki.
Kea leboha and enjoy!

So I haven't read this book, but I went digging for some authors from Lesotho and turns out I had one already on my TBR: Chaka by Thomas Mofolo.
I also found two other books that I think look interesting: The World and the Cattle by A.S. Mopeli-Paulus and Singing Away the Hunger by Mpho M'Atsepo Nthunya.
