Exploring History at the Lesotho Correctional Institution in Leribe

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in the center of Leribe, start by heading east on the main street towards Hlotse. You will want to follow the signs directing you towards Hlotse. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with the road leading into Hlotse. Turn left at this intersection. After a few minutes of walking, you will pass by local shops and eateries. Keep an eye out for the local market, which is a good landmark. Continue walking for approximately 1 kilometer until you reach the entrance of Hlotse. From there, head straight along the main road, and take note of the local landmarks to ensure you are going in the right direction. As you approach the correctional institution, look for the address '42MV+PR6' on your left. The Lesotho Correctional Institution should be visible from the road.

• Public Transport (Taxi)

  From the center of Leribe, you can take a local taxi (often referred to as a 'kombie'). Head to the taxi rank located near the main market area. Look for a taxi that has 'Hlotse' written on it. Once you get on, inform the driver that you want to go to the Lesotho Correctional Institution. The taxi will take you directly towards Hlotse. The journey should take around 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. Ask the driver to drop you off near the address '42MV+PR6', as this is close to the correctional institution. Once you get off, you may need to walk a short distance to the entrance.
