QUESTION 1.1 [20] Read the case study titled “The Basotho Cultural Village” and answer the questions that follow. The Basotho cultural village, situated at the golden gate Highlands National Park in Clarens offers a unique South African experience in which you can learn about traditional Sotho arts and crafts and their way of life. It consists of a rest camp that resembles an 18th-century Sotho village combined with replica homesteads dating from the 16th century to the present day. These showcase good examples of the mural art of the Sotho people, known as “litema”. The replica homesteads do more than document the evolution of Sotho culture. Visitors are also invited to taste the local beer brewed on-site, share local food, enjoy traditional dances, meet village elders and learn how local arts and crafts are produced. Most of the objects produced in the village are for sale, along with items sourced from further afield in Free State province. Traditional Sotho villages abound with crafters who work from home. They produce pottery, fabrics, beadwork and grass hats, mats and baskets using traditional techniques and local materials. You can arrange to visit some of these crafters, or simply buy their products at the Basotho Cultural Village. You will also find iconic, conical Sotho hats, called “mokorotlo”, on sale at the village. They are used to keep the sun at bay, as well as for cultural festivals. Also, look out for traditional Sotho blankets. Their designs and colours are significant, and blankets are worn in different ways for different ritual purposes.
