Kingdom in southern Africa; capital Maseru (7)

I believe the answer is:

lesotho

(Other definitions for lesotho that I've seen before include "Southern African country, capital Maseru" , "Kingdom within South Africa" , "Country, an enclave of South Africa, capital Maseru" , "Independent kingdom, an enclave of South Africa" , "African country, formerly Basutoland" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
