Moshoeshoe Walk Completed Despite Weather
Teaser / Tailpiece story
The 2026 Moshoeshoe Walk has wrapped up in Lesotho. The 116-kilometre event, held over three days, drew participants from across the SADC region and beyond, retracing the route of the nation’s founder, Moshoeshoe I.
Heavy rains forced organisers to cancel the second day as streams and rivers became unsafe, but hikers pushed on and completed the challenge. The walk celebrates Basotho heritage, resilience and unity while bringing together local and international participants.
At the finish, King Letsie III congratulated the participants and joined in the celebrations, marking the end of a memorable and unifying event.
