Morija Arts and Cultural Festival
Morija Arts and Cultural Festival was founded in 1999 as an initiative to help revive tourism after the devastating political upheaval in Lesotho that followed the 1998 elections. It was hoped that the Festival would promote peace, unity and confidence among the Basotho. It later became an event which provides a showcase for Lesotho’s diverse cultural heritage."
