Nation entirely surrounded by South Africa (7)

I believe the answer is:

lesotho

(Other definitions for lesotho that I've seen before include "African territory" , "Kingdom surrounded by South Africa" , "Trickery" , "Southern African country, capital Maseru" , "Independent kingdom, an enclave of South Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
