His father, of course, was the famed agriculturist J.J. Machobane who developed a successful #intercropping system that people still utilize in #Lesotho. In short, the #Machobane family history is the history of #independence in Lesotho. May he rest in power.

I wrote a tribute to the now-late doyen of #Lesotho #historians, LBBJ #Machobane (with assistance from Patrick Whang and Sibusiso Nkomo). He was more than just a historian--he build institutions in the post-independence era https://t.co/w6XUYYw30D

As University of Cape Town graduations continue this week, I wanted to re-up this interview with UCT Honorary Doctor Professor L.B.B.J. #Machobane with @ntateRaps talking about #Lesotho history, farming, politics, and more. https://t.co/hxXm9LahL5

New #WorldBank blog out on how to incorporate more climate-sustainable (but also marketable) #agriculture in #Lesotho (including a shout out to the #Machobane System) https://t.co/SjxKEAymTd (h/t @RichardHumphri1 )

I really can't believe that I have never sat down and read L.B.B.J. #Machobane's "King's Knights" (about the period of #military rule in #Lesotho) cover-to-cover. With the semester winding down, I started to do so last night. Right in chapter one... (1/n)

What does #sustainable #agriculture really look like, and how is it (still) refuting #colonial myths about Africa and Africans? Chris Conz uses the #Machobane System from #Lesotho to explore these questions on @africasacountry https://t.co/hfCv75xh39

Professor #Machobane says he notes how well travelled Mr.#Ramakhula, thus being able to link #BasothoHistory and places he had physically been to. He had archived #Moshoeshoes journey to #Thaba_bosiu in great details.
