Country known as Basutoland until 1966 (7)

I believe the answer is:

lesotho

(Other definitions for lesotho that I've seen before include "Maseru is this Kingdom's capital" , "Independent kingdom, an enclave of South Africa" , "Kingdom that was formerly Basutoland" , "Country, an enclave of South Africa, capital Maseru" , "Country entirely within South Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
