Mohale's Hoek

Mohale's Hoek

      village, southwestern Lesotho. The area in which the village is situated is predominantly agricultural (subsistence farming of wheat, corn [maize], and sorghum) and pastoral, the main cash income coming from livestock (sheep, cattle, goats) and the production of wool and mohair for export. As much as one-fifth of the area's population (mostly adult male) may be absent from the district at any given time, working in the mines and farms of South Africa. Mohale's Hoek has a hospital and is connected by road to Maseru, the national capital, 60 miles (100 km) north. Pop. (1976) village, 3,763.
