	Maseru, Lesotho
		At King Moshoeshoe’s declaration, in 1869 Maseru changed from being a small trading town on the western border of Lesotho to being the capital of the Basotho nation.
		The British put precious little effort into developing it (no more than they put into the rest of Lesotho), and Maseru today is Lesotho’s only large town, and a relative backwater when compared to cities like Johannesburg.
		Many travellers exclude Maseru from their itineraries, but it is a good place to stop for a day or two to arrange logistics and stock up on supplies before venturing out into the mountain highlands of Lesotho.
