Prof LBBJ MACHOBANE IS NO MORE

The National University of Lesotho (NUL) is mourning the loss of Professor Lehlohonolo Burns Banda Jiane (LBBJ) Machobane, a respected historian, scholar, farmers and author, who passed away on Saturday, 9 August 2025, after an illness.

Professor Machobane joined NUL in July 1976 and served the University with distinction for over 30 years, retiring in June 2007.

During his tenure, he held key leadership roles including Pro-Vice Chancellor and Acting Vice-Chancellor, contributing significantly to the University’s academic and administrative development.

He made history as the first Mosotho to be appointed Professor of History at NUL, earning recognition for his expertise in African and Afro-American history, particularly Lesotho’s political and cultural heritage. His scholarship and publications have left an enduring mark on the study of Lesotho’s history.

“Professor Machobane will be remembered for his dedication to education, his intellectual rigor, and his lasting impact on generations of students and colleagues.

NUL has extended heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the wider academic community. Funeral details will be communicated in due course.

TRAVELLERS WELCOME AT MASORINI

Located just outside Phalaborwa Town inside the Kruger National Park in Limpopo, the site is a fascinating archaeological site that offers a window into the iron-smelting skills of the early inhabitants of the region.

Once home to the BaPhalaborwa people during the 19th century, Masorini preserves the remains of stone huts, furnaces, and iron-smelting workshops that reveal their advanced knowledge of metalworking and trade.

The site shows how local communities turned iron ore into tools, weapons, and trade goods—highlighting Limpopo’s long history of innovation and industry. Today, visitors can explore the restored village, see ancient furnaces, and even learn how iron was smelted using traditional methods. Set against the backdrop of Kruger National Park, Masorini is not only a cultural treasure but also a reminder of the ingenuity and resilience of Limpopo’s people.
