Abstract:The author gives a short survey of political development in Basutoland since in 1868 it became British Territory. He discusses the events of political significance in the formative period from 1868 - 1910, in the period of economic and social changes from 1910 - 1938 and in the period of 1938 -1955 in which successive attempts at administrative reform took place. He exposes the importance of the Report of the Basuto National Council which gave rise to the statement of the British Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations of 18 December 1958.
