His route was apparently from Leribe in the north to Mohaleshoek in the south, thence by air to Qacha's Nek. The country became Independent as Lesotho in 1966 and Marnham paid a further visit in July 1967.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Original photography by John Ewart Marnham, reproduced by kind permission of Mrs Elizabeth S.
