LeSA-UCT: A community dedicated to uniting and supporting Basotho students at the University of Cape Town while celebrating and sharing Basotho culture with all who are interested.
Welcome to LeSA-UCT!
Our mission is to create a home away from home for Basotho students at the University of Cape Town. By fostering unity, cultural pride, and mutual support, we aim to provide a space where members can connect, share experiences, and navigate both academic and social challenges together.
At LeSA-UCT, we celebrate and promote Basotho heritage through cultural events, gatherings, and outreach programs. These activities not only preserve and showcase Lesotho’s rich traditions but also foster cultural exchange with the diverse student communities at UCT.
We are here to support new and prospective students from Lesotho in their transition to university life, while also offering guidance and encouragement throughout their academic journeys. Beyond UCT, our commitment to social responsibility drives us to engage in voluntary community development projects that make a positive impact in South Africa and Lesotho.
Join us as we build a strong, engaged, and supportive Basotho student community at UCT!
