Why Is There a Country Inside South Africa? 🇱🇸🌍

Why is there a completely independent country inside South Africa? 🤯

Meet Lesotho, a small kingdom completely surrounded by South Africa. But why does this unusual border exist?

In this short geography documentary, we explore the history behind Lesotho, the Basotho kingdom, King Moshoeshoe I, British colonial rule, and Lesotho’s independence on October 4, 1966.

And there’s another surprising twist: nearby Eswatini is bordered by South Africa but also shares a border with Mozambique.

One map. Two unusual borders. A fascinating piece of geography and history.
