In September 2000 the Institute of Southern African Studies, Maseru, and the Human Sciences Research Council, Pretoria, conducted a national survey of public opinion on developmental issues in Lesotho. The intention was to gauge the sentiments of a representative sample of adult residents about a range of socio- political and economic issues. This book represents the findings of that survey and outlines the methodology used in the design of it.

The first in a series of three books, it will be followed by the findings of similar surveys carried out in South Africa and Namibia.
