As one continues in an anti-clockwise direction or further south from Mafeteng, one reaches Mohale’s Hoek, once again the centre of the district that goes by the same name. Mohale’s Hoek was named after the younger brother of King Moshoeshoe I who gave the land to the British, from where they ran their administrative affairs.

Mohale's Hoek is some 120 kilometres from Maseru, and is connected to the Capital city via a tarred road. It is considered the main town in the South of the country. Not far from Mohale's Hoek are the famous Cannibal Caves, that are easily accessible for visitors.
