QUESTION 1.1 [20]
Read the case study titled “The Basotho Cultural Village” and answer the
questions that follow. The Basotho cultural village, situated at the golden
gate Highlands National Park in Clarens offers a unique South African
experience in which you can learn about traditional Sotho arts and crafts
and their way of life. It consists of a rest camp that resembles an 18th-
century Sotho village combined with replica homesteads dating from the
16th century to the present day. These showcase good examples of the
mural art of the Sotho people, known as “litema”. The replica homesteads
do more than document the evolution of Sotho culture. Visitors are also
invited to taste the local beer brewed on-site, share local food, enjoy
traditional dances, meet village elders and learn how local arts and crafts
are produced. Most of the objects produced in the village are for sale, along
with items sourced from further afield in Free State province. Traditional
Sotho villages abound with crafters who work from home. They produce
pottery, fabrics, beadwork and grass hats, mats and baskets using
traditional techniques and local materials. You can arrange to visit some of
these crafters, or simply buy their products at the Basotho Cultural Village.
You will also find iconic, conical Sotho hats, called “mokorotlo”, on sale at
the village. They are used to keep the sun at bay, as well as for cultural
festivals. Also, look out for traditional Sotho blankets. Their designs and
colours are significant, and blankets are worn in different ways for different
ritual purposes. Source:
