as well at the MGC Supa 8 Cup numerous other times in the modern era. The team also came second in the league twice in a row in the 2016–17, and 2017–18 seasons. Unlike many other growing western lowlands towns that have seem an emergence of privately owned clubs over the years, the people of Teyateyaneng have rallied behind the club through the years, taking pride in the iconic identity of the club whose name is synonymous with the town's founding Chief Masupha's regiment "Lioli", named after the red hawk. The club arguably boasts the largest active fan base in Lesotho's premier league today. Cricket The town has proven to be an athletic powerhouse of Lesotho over the years, producing prolific footballers who have represented Lesotho internationally at different levels. In the late 1990s as the country revived the cricket sports, Teyateyaneng further produced many players who rose through high school competitions to represent the country since. Earlier players included the likes of all-rounders Ts'epo 'Muso, Seisa Tsiame, and Ts'epo Lephema among others, before another generation of players such as Leokaoke Lebona, batsman Thabang Mafereka, and pace bowlers Ian Osler and Thabiso Mohapi emerged. Other sporting disciplines are played at a school level, but football and cricket remain the town's largest sporting quotes. Points of interest Teyateyaneng as a district capital has multiple schools, a district referral hospital and several recreational and tourism facilities such as hotels, lodges and cafes. The town is also surrounded by several rock caves with cave paintings of the Khoi San tribes that once occupied the place centuries ago before the Basotho people migrated south to settle in the Mohokare River valley, before ultimately becoming an organized state with inhabitants going further to occupy the mountainous terrain to the east and the south of what is the present day Lesotho. The town's friendly close-knit community is always willing to accompany tourists on many hiking trails at request. The town is much closer to the country's eastern highlands compared to many of its lowlands neighbours and offers interesting mountain side settlements and cattle posts hiking trails in the east.
