莫舒舒一世（mʊʃwɛʃwɛ）（1786年－1870年3月11日）出生于今莱索托北部的莫霍亚嫩。他是莫卡查（Mokhachane）的第一个儿子，莫卡查是一个较小的部落。在他早期的童年，他帮助他的父亲控制其他一些较小的部落。在他34岁的时候，莫舒舒成为了部落酋长。他和他的追随者在布塔布泰山定居。

莫舒舒一世的最大亮点是他对被他击败的敌人的友善行为。他对不同的人们提供土地，这个方式加强了巴索托民族的形成。他的影响力日渐增大，后来很多追随者与战争难民及灾难受害者们不断前来居住融合。

Moshoeshoe (/mʊˈʃwɛʃwɛ/) (c. 1786 – 11 March 1870) was born at Menkhoaneng in the northern part of present-day Lesotho. He was the first son of Mokhachane, a minor chief of the Bamokoteli lineage- a branch of the Koena (crocodile) clan. In his early childhood, he helped his father gain power over some other smaller clans. At the age of 34 Moshoeshoe formed his own clan and became a chief. He and his followers settled at the Butha-Buthe Mountain.
