It is administratively divided into ten districts. The districts are Berea, Butha-Buthe, Mafeteng, Maseru, Mohale's Hoek, Leribe, Mokhotlong, Qacha's Nek, Quthing, and Thaba-Tseka. The district capitals are Teyateyaneng (Berea District), Butha-Buthe, Mafeteng, Maseru, Mohale's Hoek, Leribe (Hlotse), Mokhotlong, Qacha's Nek, Quthing, and Thaba-Tseka.
