Leribe (or Hlotse) was established by a British missionary in 1876 and today is a bustling market town with a few crumbling colonial buildings left over from the town’s roughly 100 years as a administrative center under the British. Leribe is also the turnoff point for an interior road heading over the Maluti Mountains to the Bokong Nature Reserve and the Katse Dam.
Leribe Craft Centre
Leribe Craft Centre is an art and employment project run by the Anglican Church. It trains local women, many with disabilities, to spin and weave mohair into jackets, bags, scarves, placemats and a variety of other items. Profits from the sale of products go toward education and housing for members of the community who also have disabilities. The Centre is located near the main intersection of town on the A1, right next to the A25 turnoff to Katse Dam.

Shoprite is located on the main road through the city center.
