… a woman’s story of grief, tribulations, forgiveness and triumph

Finally, a boom for Semonkong
SEMONKONG-COMMUNITIES around the ’Maletsunyane Falls in Semonkong have started reaping the benefits of staying close to a tourist attraction following the government’s decision to cede 10 percent of gate takings for local development initiatives in 2017.
The community recently received a cheque for M14 000, which is 10 percent of money collected as entrance fees last year.
The Lesotho Tourism Development Corporation (LTDC) introduced entrance fees at the ’Maletsunyane Falls as part of efforts to develop one of the country’s premier tourist resorts to attract more domestic and international visitors.
The local community was also incorporated in the running of the tourist attraction.
