Abstract
In most African societies there are expressions that are meant to caution people against behaviours and actions which are considered culturally unacceptable or dangerous to lives of people. Such actions and behaviours, regarded as taboo, are observable amongst Basotho. Taboos are the sources of peace and stability in a society. They guide human behaviour and are a symbol of identity. Without the use of these teaching aids, Basotho children‟s lives will be disrupted. Thus, taboos are one of the fundamental teachings of Sesotho culture. This article is intended to demonstrate how the message is communicated to Basotho young boys and girls through taboos. It further analysed them to find out what is taboo about their intended messages as well as their relevance in the upbringing of a Mosotho child. Change this sentence to: Conclusions will be drawn from the discussion.
