Maloti[2] (formerly named Maluti) is a middle-class township of Matatiele Local Municipality in Alfred Nzo District Municipality in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa.
Maloti, once a village, is now a rapidly developing township. The township comprises Sotho, Hlubi, Phuthi and small Xhosa groups. Most residents in the area are either bilingual or multilingual. The township comprises many sections, namely Tholang, Motsekoa, Ramohlakoana, Protea, Hardingberg, Malubaluba and Donald's Drift.[3] Maloti is highly admired for the mountain ranges that surround it.
