Motsoalle Relationships of Lesotho

In our final episode of Season Two of /Queer, we interview Dr Mamoeketsi Ntho from the Ministry of Gender, Youth, Sports and Recreation in the Lesotho Government. In our investigations into Motsoalle relationships- relationships which blurred the boundaries of platonic and romantic love between Mosotho girls- we come to understand how ideas of kinship have been impacted by Eurocentrism.

Delving into the complexities of defining womanhood, sexuality and kinship across African communities, this episode investigates how Motsoalle relationships were maintained- and lost- in the culture of Lesotho- and what this means for understanding human connection through the lens of a heterogeneous African continent.

As we close Season Two, we have high hopes for our future content- across South America, the Pacific Islands and beyond.
