The Hotel Mount
Maluti is the oldest hotel in the south of
Lesotho. It was built by Mr and Mrs A.F. Bothma
in 1950 to serve the administrative and business
community of Mohale's Hoek. After Lesotho's
independence in 1966, the demand for conference
and tourism facilities grew rapidly.
The History of Mohale's Hoek
Mohales Hoek is named after
Moshoeshoe's younger brother, who was appointed
by Moshoeshoe as principal chief of the area.
Previously large parts of the present district
had fallen under the chief of Baphuthi, Moorosi,
who moved from his village at Maphutseng across
the Senqu into what is now the Quthing District.
Large number of Baphuthi, still live in Mohales
Hoek District. A significant number of them
still speak Sephutim a language more closely
related to Zulu Assistant Commissioner was
appointed to administer the Cornet Spruit
District. The original government headquarters
were destroyed during the Gun War and the
present town was established in 1884, 5km south
of "Old Hoek". Mohales Hoek today has a
population of 7000 and amenities include a
hotel, a supermarket, several stores, a number
of commercial buildings and a modern hospital.
The town has a water supply pumped from the
Makhaleng River, which rarely runs dry,
boreholes in the area guarantee that the supply
is not interrupted.
