As a Mosotho I believe this publication assists in documenting the deep indigenous knowledge of our forefathers and helps preserve the proud tradition of the Basotho Nation.rnDr Chris NhlapornVice-Chancellor, Cape Peninsula University of TechnologyrnThis publication is an important contribution to the documentation of medicinal plant use by the Basotho. It contains a comprehensive list of known medicinal plants, their up-to-date scientific names, their vernacular names, as well as their uses. This book will appeal to experts, as well as to readers who are unfamiliar with traditional medicinal plant uses.rnProfessor Ntsamaeeng MoteeteernDepartment of Botany and Plant Technology, University of Johannesburg
