 | | Perched on the banks of the Mokhotlong River, MOKHOTLONG, whose name means "place of the bald ibis" (although they are rarely seen these days), began life as a police post in 1905. |
 | | An airstrip was constructed in 1948 and a rudimentary road link built in the 1950s, but Mokhotlong continued to get the bulk of its supplies by pony from Natal, via Sani, for a long time afterwards. |
 | | Not much happens in town, which is dominated by hurriedly built and decidedly plain breeze-block buildings that compare unfavourably with the immaculately constructed dry-stone-walled dwellings of the surrounding countryside. |
