Hiring in Lesotho

The Kingdom of Lesotho is famous for its mountainous landscape, with the world’s highest ‘low point’, and all of its 2 million inhabitants living above 1,000 metres, the only instance of this in the world.

Lesotho is landlocked and surrounded entirely by South Africa, with whom it is in economic union, and highly dependent on financial remittances sent by expatriates living in South Africa.

Lesotho has one of the lowest human development index ratings in the world and poverty is widespread.

Many Basuto are employed in the garment production industry, which is dominated by foreign brands from the US. This makes Lesotho the largest exporter of garments from Africa to the United States. Diamonds also play a large role in Lesotho’s economy.

Workers in Lesotho face widespread issues ranging from informal and borderline indentured work all the way to child labour. Despite the huge opportunities to leverage an increasingly skilled and literate workforce, foreign investors must approach Lesotho with caution from an ethical standpoint.
