Clouds Reveals An African Switzerland
Maseru, Basutoland, Nov. 22.
Southern Africa's "Switzerland” has been opened up to the world with a spectacular new £250,000 "road to the clouds” which is due to reach the heart of Basutoland's 11,000 feet high "Alps" sometime next year.
Engineers working on the road call it the toughest job they have yet handled on the African continent.
