Quthing

Quthing is divided into Lower Moyeni and Upper Moyeni. Lower Moyeni is largely used for commercial and residential purposes. Upper Moyeni is mainly for administrative purposes and residences for government officials.

Quthing district is home to a diverse group of people who speak different languages. Including Sephuthi and IsiXhosa. King Moorosi, the leader of the Baphuthi people, who occupied the Quthing District in southeastern Basutoland (today's Lesotho) in the 1800s, died on Mount Moorosi in 1879 in a war against the Cape Colony. The Xhosa's, sometimes referred to as the AbaThembu are an ethnic group that migrated during the Difaqane Wars in the Republic of South Africa. It is believed that they were running away from the legendary King Shaka of the Zulu's. All these diverse ethnicities are now regarded as Basotho.

Rock and cave art are to be found near Quthing, which were created by the San people who settled in this area. Quthing lies in the southern part of Lesotho and borders the Eastern Cape province of South Africa.
