Nation that's an enclave of South Africa (7)

I believe the answer is:

lesotho

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

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
