I just changed the wording of the reference to the Zulu people. Talking about "The Zulus" is a sweeping generalization. Someone should probably write something (and link to) the Sotho people, since they are the inhabitants of the area. When I get time, maybe I will.
[edit] In a perfect world
Dude, Maluti is the correct spelling for the mountains, as used in Lesotho. Loti is the currency. Please follow Lesotho government link http://www.lesotho.gov.ls/about/tourism.php. Oxford is clearly wrong here. People in South Africa and Lesotho mostly use the Maluti spelling. Some politically correct ANC departments in South Africa seems to start using the Maloti spelling.
Maluti would redirect to a disambiguation page Maloti which would point to Drakensberg and Lesotho loti (see the Oxford Dictionary of South African English entry for Maloti). Also, this article would use "Maloti" for the Sesotho name and mention the fact that "Maluti" is a very common misspelling. "Imagine all the people..."

Dude, Maloti is commonly misspelt Maluti - not the other way around! Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 05:32, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
But thanks a lot for the dab and stuff. Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 05:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- Umm, isn't that exactly what I did? On Maloti: "Maloti (or Maluti, a common misspelling)..." — if there is something I misunderstood, please tell me! Thanks, dewet|✉ 06:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
The mistake is on Drakensberg. Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 08:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. My bad. But why didn't you just switch it around yourself? dewet|✉ 08:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Because it's impossible to edit articles on a WAP cellphone. Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 09:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
