Africa-Press – Lesotho. With only a few days remaining before Christmas Day, Maseru’s main circle was transformed into a breathtaking spectacle last night as colourful water displays danced in harmony with radiant festive lights, painting the capital with joy and celebration.
As darkness settled over the city, the circle came alive.
Streams of water shimmered in vibrant hues, rising and falling like a festive rhythm, while bright lights reflected off the fountains, creating a magical glow visible from every corner.
Families, couples and groups of friends gathered around the landmark, phones held high, eager to capture moments that felt both memorable and historic.
Laughter, excitement and admiration filled the air as many Basotho paused from their busy end-of-year routines to soak in the beauty.
For some, it was a perfect backdrop for Christmas photos while for others, it was a quiet moment of pride, a reminder that Maseru, too, can shine with elegance and charm.
Several onlookers described the display as more than just decoration, reflecting it as a clear symbol of the current government’s commitment to revitalising the city centre.
The illuminated fountains were seen as a step towards creating a cleaner, safer and more attractive Maseru, a capital that welcomes both residents and visitors with warmth.
As the festive lights flickered against the night sky, the Maseru main circle became a meeting point of hope, celebration and unity.
In those colourful reflections, many Basotho saw not only the spirit of Christmas, but also a brighter vision for the city they call home.
