The information presented in this publication is part of the f actual mate rial collecte'd for a more detailed study, "Growth Centres in Lesotho," scheduled to appear later this year. The initial impulse for this study-project came from the then he ad of the Le sotho Department of Planning and Development, 1'1r. T. Thahane, who pointed out that development planning in his country was being seriously hampered by the lack of detailed data concerning the availaqility and location of diverse services in specifie areas. Field work was undertaken between March 1973 and February 1974. Although the author was abl e herself to undertake the work in a number of towns and villages, she was fortunate in obtaining the s e rvices of university students and other competent persans who covered the remaining centres. \Vi thout the ir assistance and that of numerous other persans in Lesotho, the work could not have been carried out. Various officials in Lesotho gave generously of their time collectin ~ , or supervising the gathering of, the r equired information. A number of people a lso helped with the compilation of the maps and special mention must be made of Mr. D. Ambrose of U.B.L.S. who he lpe d to locate many of t~e smaller villages not shown on the official 1:50 000 map series. The author wishes to express her sincere gratitude and appreciation to all of them and can only hope that the studies to which they have contributed will not disappoint them . This publication is dedicated to the memory of Dorothea Hamann whose enthusiasm and unfailing support in organising the first stage were invaluable. She saw the present survey as part
1 of the l arger effort of planning for the progress of Lesotho - the country she loved and where she died. CONTENTS

The pre-colonial settlement pattern in Lesotho reflected and was func tionally related to the phy:ical and historical/social environme nt. People settled in areas which were relatively safer and which offered the bcst opportunities for subsistence farming and cattle graz ing. They established small di spersed settle ments and l arger vill ag es , i.e. the nucleated pattern typical of the Basotho.
Coloni al admin istrators introduced a new system of admi nistration which c~anged the spati al structure of the traditional society. Cent res of loca l authority were es tablished in the various districts into 1vhich the country was divided. The arrival of missionaries and the establishment of mis sion stations, school s and hospitals added a further el ement in the spatial framework. Various ether factors such as the setting up of trading posts, subsequently influenced the settlement pattern, re sulting in a single reasonably integrated core area, comprising Maseru and its immediate surroundings, and a poorly integrated periphery 1vhere life is still mainly at subsistance l eve l. Maseru, the seat of government, has attracted sorne small scale indus try and has a rapidly growing population (an estimated annual increase of about 12 ta 14 percent). Th e hig her productivity and potenti al of the northern lowlands , and ta a l es ser extent the southern lowlands, have attracted various FAO/UNDP and World Bank agricul tu ral schemes, which yet again focus on Maseru (i.e. Th aba Bosiu Sch eme ) and ~n the ether larger towns/villages of the northern and southern lowl ands (e .g. Leribe, Ficksburg Bridge, ~~hale's Ho ek, Quthing). Th e Govern me nt of Lesotho, as well as various deve l opment pl anners and agencies op e ratin~ within the country, has expressed concern about the concentration of population, capital and industry in Maseru ta the detriment of ether towns and especially of the l ittl e deve l oped periphery surrounding thi s core. Although Government departments and the various donor ag encies differas regards the details of fu ture develo pm ent pl an s and strategies , they all seem ta accept - exp licitly or implicitly- the basic assump tion that a hierarchy of growth centres ca n and must be establi shed as a precondition for balanced long - terni deve lopme nt sa as ta en sure social sati sfaction and econo mie growth. Ultimately the probl em resol ves itself into two i ss ues : (a) Is it essential to establish a hierarchy of growth centres? (b) Is it feasib l e to es tabli sh such a hierarchy? Several studies have dea lt with either or bath of these questions . Careful scrutiny of all these studies reveal s that too many studi es are highly theoretical and insuffi ci ently based on specifie qua ntifi ab l e data Thi s impression is confirmed by discussions 1·1ith various members of the Department of Pl anning and Development and also with other planners and representatives of donor agenc ies. Far too little is known abo ut the actual areas served by various villages and towns and " the nature and scope of the services offered (suc h as roads i de marketing, genera l dea l ers, school s etc.) The present surv ey, the results of which are summar ised here, i s an attempt to provide some of this essential data.
THE SURVE Y
Since it is held that certain of the existing tow ns and vill ages should be developed as pri ma ry, secondary or tertiary grov1th centres , the main aim of the survey is to try to determine the area served by town or vi ll age as a whole, and then by ea ch of the various services in turn. After extensive s tu dy of the literature on comparab l e projects , 1) a questionnaire was draw n up , and after careful briefing in Maser u, two students (who acted as fieldworkers for eight towns /villages ) we re sent to Mo rija to t es t bath the questionnai, 0 and their own ability to obtain the information sought. An ~ nalysis of the results of this pi lot project necess itated the re-drafting of certain sections of the questionnaire. Helpful sug ge stions were offered by Government officials, in parti cu l ar official s of ~he Dep artme nts of Planning , Agricu l ture and Statistics.
Th e two students then surveyed ~1ats ieng, Roma, Marakabei, J·la ntsonyane, Mafeteng, Quthing and Moha leshoek. Th e district adm ini strators for Butha-Buthe, Qacha ' s Nek and Mok hotlong were most helpful and supervised (or even und ertook personally) the complet ion of

Paus ew ang, Siegfried. Methods and Concepts of Social Research in a Rura l Developing Soci ety . Weltforum Verlag, Munich , 1973 . questionnaires for these towns. Th e relative inaccessibility of Mokhotlong presented considerable problems, and the methods employed to check or obtain information from that cen ~re included the sending of questionnaires by travell ers , and by aeropl ane from Lady sm ith in Nata l. Unforseen changes in Government departments necessitated asking members of the Town and Regional Plrnning Unit, and al so donor ag enc i es and students of U.B .L. S. to assist with the surveying of the no rthern towns. The more inaccessible villages of Sekake-Les oli, Th aba -Ts eka and Sehla- bathebe were surveyed by the author personally during a tour of the mountainous regions of Lesotho.
CROS S CHECKING
1. In order to check the accuracy of answers in the questionnaires the following dep artments v1ere contacted fol" si mi l al" information to that contained in the qu estionnaires:
Department Data Education Li st of secondary schoo l s . Town and distri ct where located. Civil Serv ice Comm ission Ward and principal chiefs per district, plus village where each li ves . Touri sm Li st of hotels and lodges (chalets). Roman Catholic Infol"mat i on List of educationa l establishments, Centre missions, relief and welfare organisa tions and training centres run by the R.C.C., plus village in which each i s situated. Finance and Marketing List of Co-op. depots. Co-operative Union of Lesotho Agricu l tural Informa tion Li st of: ( i ) Farmer Tr ain i ng Centres . ( i i ) Nutrition Centres. ( i i i ) Agricultural district officers and where they are based . (i v) Liv estock Improvement Centres. (v) Egg Circles. (vi ) Dairy Centres. (v i i ) Pl aces where civi l servants are pa id. (viii) Dip tank areas. Stati stics Population of bigger towns. Health List of hea lth services (mainly ho spitals and cl inics ) and town in which each service functi ons . Comme rce and Industry Li st of all business enterprises registered with the Ch amb er of Co mme rce and Industry. Th e two l argest retail firms, K. Nolan Lesotho Ltd. and Fra sers Le sotho Ltd. provided a list of their branches and the town s and vill ages in which these are situated. Data collected by thQ survey were compared with that obtained from the various dep artments. \·!h ere discrepanci es v1ere found, the relevant departme nt was consulted for verification of original data , and the survey assistants were given a li st of suc h discrepancies to re-check in the field. ' Sorne data were al so obtained from the "Lesotho Business Directory," publ ished by A.C. Braby (L esotho) Ltd., together with the Depart me nt of Co mme rce and Indu stry. This publication was used ma inly to re-check information obtained from the above-mentioned sources.
2. Three towns/vi11ages v.Jere surveyed tv1ice by different teams. Igno- ring such incons i stencies as differences in the total number of sc hool ch ildren (which is obviously a resu lt of the time lapse of about seven mo nths between the two surveys) the following results were obta in ed from questionnaires A and B: t·1okhot l on g Roma
(a) No. of questions idcntically 7 7 5 answered in the ~wo questionnaires
(b) No. of questions vlith contradi :: tory answers in the two questionnaires 2
(c) No. of questions in which the questionnaire filled in by the second team (B) gave more info rma tion than that of the first (A) 2 2
(d) No. of questions in which the questionnaire filled in by the second team (B) gave less informa tion than that of the first (A) 2 2 Total No. of questions 11 11 11
RELIABILITY OF DATA At a first glanee the discrepancies between the two sets of questionnaire results might cast some doubt on the value and reliability of the data so collected. A closer analysis dispels this reservation: Morij a questi onnaires : Contradictory information was given regarding the number of the va r ious types of commerc i al enterpri se in the village. A personal vi sit to the vill age es t ab li shed that one team had separated the baker's shop from the café (i. e . li sted these as two different enterprises ) whilst the other regarded them as on e enterpri se . In fact, one of the cafés also sells bread, cakes etc. in the same sho p. No other cases of direct contradiction were found, merPly more or less infor- mation on qu estions where , e .g., the names of villages served by a centre had to be li sted .
Mokh otlong questionnaires : Here also, only on e contradi ction was found, this time regarding the existence or absence of a Departmen t of Ag r iculture Nutrition Centre. Th e second questionnaire (compl eted by the District Administrator) elucidated the matter by pa inting out that nutritional advice i s given at "'egular intervals but that a spec ifi e bui ldi ng f ~r thi s purpose has not yet be en erected.
Rom a : As there 1~e re three que sti ons containing contradiction s in the fi rst t wo qu es tionnaires here , a th i rd survey was undertaken by students from U.B.L.S. (u nder supervision of a l ecturer). Th e results of the third qu esti onnaire were almost identical with those contained in the first, so the second qu es tionnaire has been i gnored. In spite of every effort to eliminate incorrect data , the results of the surv ey presented in this pub li cation, should be used with circumspection. The exact bou ndar i es of indiv idua l towns/ villages are not always co~n o nly known or de- scri bed , and in tervi ewe rs may have li sted a service as belonging to a certain town • whilst, in fact, it (functionally at l east) be longs to a neighbouring vill age . Thi s is espec i ally the case with respec t to the various commerc ial enterpri ses . Second ly, interviewers 1vere not al ways briefed carehlly enough regard in g the de- fini tion of e .g. the various crnnn ercial enterprises . In sorne instances a number of gen eral dea l ers are quoted as ex isting in a specifie town/village wh il e in rea lity they amount to no more than a café selling a variety of groceri es . It i s hoped t hat these poss i bl e discrepencies have been kept to a mi ni mum by re-check ing the informa - tion du ring several persona l visi ts to sorne of the towns/vi ll ages . Personal attitudes and preferences in f lu enced the answers to certain questions . Sorne i ntervi ewees refus ed to ans1·1er the que stion concerning the spending of money , whi l st most ins i sted that they sel l their produce every day although they often also admit to buying most of it in ~l a seru or some ether larger tm~n. The "every day" of this question should therefore be interpreted to mean "usually ." Another inte- resting result was the number of interviewees who did not know who was the principal or ward chief of their area. 2) Finally, the service areas indicated on the maps mu st be regarded as approxi- mations. Interviewers tried to ascertain the most distant village~ served by each centre, but it is not impossible that one or more small village might have inadver tently been omitted. The total area served by all the various services in each town
is, however, generally correct. ,.
2) A more detailed analysis of this phenomenon will be the subject of an article by the author and ILJ. Breytenbach to be published in the Bulletin of the Africa Institute of South Africa. ~ · o·
