How two rivers tell the story of Basotho's land dispossession by whites

Many across the world and in South Africa always ask the question,"why is this country - Lesotho - in a country South Africa?" They often venture a solution of why does it not become the 10th province?

King Moshoeshoe resisted and defeated both British and Afrikaner aggression over a protracted period of time. In the battle that took place in Mohlanapeng and Mathebe, the British soldiers were defeated. In their praise songs, Basotho envisioned the instantaneous internet access to information and messaging.

The praise singer said the following about how the blood of the dead white soldier reported the death of its owner:"The black blood of the white man's nervous system escaped long before we could write and report to the British authorities of the demise of their dead warriors. "In fear and trembling from war, it crossed the treacherous waters of the oceans. Arriving before Her Majesty it said we arrive from the open lands of Mohlanapeng, the war field where whites have been teased by the Basotho warriors. We were beaten long before the warm-up and we are here to report our defeat."

This article is written more like a bedtime story than a historical account.
