Basotho are not necessarily a tribe, they were founded as a nation by Moshoeshoe who married women from different ethnic groups with the vision of peacefully forming a black nation. Mosotho means a black person, it comes from the word sootho which means brown #WeDontNeedTribalism 
Tribal allegiances were fine before the 19th century but we're now in the 21st century. Like nations in Asia, we should evolve beyond that phase so we can build solid & prosperous nations. Just make sure you preserve your language & your culture will be safe. #wedontneedtribalism
There is no country on earth that has made significant economic & technological progress by hanging on to tribal allegiances. All the countries (like South Korea, Japan, Germany, Singapore & Rwanda) with fast growing economies have evolved beyond prehistoric tribal allegiances.
Next time you hear someone saying "rona Basotho..." just know that they are not referring to a tribe, they are saying "we the black people" because Basotho is not a tribe, it's a nation which includes all black people.
Morena Moshoeshoe was not a tribal leader, he was a Statesman, a Head of State. He became one of late President Nelson Mandela's greatest role models, as Madiba admired how skillfully & peacefully he was able to bring people from all walks of life together to form a strong nation
Watch: Minister Louis Farrakhan talking about tribal allegiances vs nations in Africa.
