Lesotho Independence Day


October 4th is Lesotho Independence Day.

It was on this day in 1966 when the Kingdom of Lesotho gained their independence from Great Britian.

In Lesotho they celebrate by dressing up in their district colours and wearing their traditional Lesotho blankets.  They sing songs and perform dances.






We celebrated with a Braai - South African name for Barbecue.

Spicy sausages, chakalaka, Papa, grilled corn and a fresh salad.
Yum.



There was Lesotho music playing in the background, thanks to youtube.  No dancing.  

Ret didn't stop smiling throughout the whole meal.
