As a Mosotho I believe this publication assists in documenting the deep indigenous knowledge of our forefathers and helps preserve the proud tradition of the Basotho Nation.Dr Chris NhlapoVice-Chancellor, Cape Peninsula University of TechnologyThis publication is an important contribution to the documentation of medicinal plant use by the Basotho. It contains a comprehensive list of known medicinal plants, their up-to-date scientific names, their vernacular names, as well as their uses. This book will appeal to experts, as well as to readers who are unfamiliar with traditional medicinal plant uses.Professor Ntsamaeeng MoteeteeDepartment of Botany and Plant Technology, University of Johannesburg

FOREWORD
I am extremely honoured to have this opportunity to write a foreword for the bookBasotho Medîcîna Pants – Merîana ya Dîmea tsa Basotho.

These uses range from farm implements (for example, making sleighs for carrying the harvest home), buïdïng maerïas, irewood, musical instruments (such as the instrument known as “lesiba”), basketry, magic, garments (Gazania krebsîana–tsîkîtane, for example, used for making skirts for young girls), beauty, and most importantly, for numerous medicinal purposes. Medicinal plants are indeed an extremely important part of the culture of the Basotho people, whether they reside in Lesotho or the Free State Province of South Africa.
This book, which focuses on medicinal plants only, contains a ransaon of par of he auhor’s book “Sesotho Plant and Animal Names and Plants used by the Basotho” (2010). As such, the book

The book provides a comprehensive list of all known medicinal plants, heïr up-o-dae scïenic names, a their known vernacular names, as well as their uses. Therefore even readers who are unfamiliar with radïona medïcïna pan use wï ind ï very ïnformave.
