What South Africa surrounds (7)

I believe the answer is:

lesotho

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

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
