The Basotho hut is slowly, but surely, being nudged out of the
Lesotho landscape in South Africa by modern construction. With a
roof of strong grass that lasts 20 to 30 years it keeps the inside
cool during summer and traps heat during winter without a drop of
water seeping through. This house is part of the Basotho Cultural
Village where homes from the sixteenth century are displayed.
