Location: Lesotho » Mohales HoekUnder the National Settlement Plan, Mohale's Hoek is regarded as the centre for the southern region consisting of the districts of Mafeteng, Mohale's Hoek and Quthing. On expansion of Moshoeshoe's kingdom into southern Lesotho, King Moshoeshoe sent his brother Mohale to administer the area where the Baphuthi and Basotho enjoyed a rather fragile friendship. After living for a while at Lifateng, Mohale established a substantial village at the place now known as Old Hoek, a few kilometres north of the present town. This village was destroyed in 1867 during the Seqiti War and was subsequently abandoned. In the year after the proclamation that made Lesotho British territory, an assistant commissioner was appointed to administer what was then called Cornet Spruit District. This would make Mohale's Hoek the second oldest of all the district headquarters towns in Lesotho, except that the town was completely destroyed during the Gun War of 1880. It was left abandoned until the new administration reoccupied the same site in 1884, rebuilding the government buildings and church that had been razed to the ground. During the colonial period Mohale's Hoek grew slowly, becoming essentially important for its government hospital, its schools and as a trading centre. Since Independence, an airstrip was constructed and an estate for small industries was established by BEDCO. A 123-kilometre tarred road links to Maseru with the network extended to Moyeni and the border post at Makhaleng Bridge.
