Maseru Lesotho

Maseru is the capital and most populated city of Lesotho, located on the banks of the Caledon River, bordering South Africa. It is the capital of the homonymous district. Until the year 2004 Maseru had a growing textile industry supported by Chinese investors, but since the end of the collection of tariffs to the Chinese textile industry by the United States the item has entered into a deep crisis, almost disappearing. Other economic activities in the city were the manufacture of candles and carpets, but they have been overshadowed by the South African industry. Maseru connects with South Africa through the border post of Maseru Bridge. Ladybrand is the closest South African town. Maseru was a small town when it was made capital of the Basotho by King Moshoeshoe I in 1869. It was the capital of the British protectorate of Basutoland between 1869 and 1871 and between 1884 and 1966, when Basutoland gained independence and its name was changed to Lesotho . The National University of Lesotho is located near the city, in a town called Rome, and there is also an international airport nearby, in Thoteng-ea-Moli.
