HlotseHlotse (also Leribe) is an important market town in Lesotho. It is situated on the Hlotse River, near the South African border. The town was founded in 1876 by a British missionary, Reverend John Widdicombe. It was a colonial center until Lesotho gained its independence. The alternate name, Leribe, comes from the adjacent French Catholic Leribe Mission, founded in 1859 by Franois Coillard.
