About the rite
In Basotho Lebollo, initiates live apart from ordinary community life and learn conduct, history, and responsibility from senior instructors before returning home. Their return signals a changed social standing.
A 2026 field report by the Lesotho News Agency documents practice as well as contemporary debates over schooling and safety.
