Lesotho does not change its clocks
Lesotho stays on UTC+2:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is 2 hours ahead of UTC, and 7 hours ahead of New York.

The day is 13 hours 33 minutes long in Maseru, and gaining 1 minute a day. The sun peaks within a few minutes of twelve o’clock, so Lesotho’s offset fits its longitude about as closely as a whole-hour offset can.
The solar year swings 3 hours 47 minutes in Maseru: 14 hours 2 minutes of daylight at the December solstice against 10 hours 15 minutes at the June one. Being south of the equator, its longest day falls in December — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
Lesotho’s offset has not moved once since 1970 — no daylight saving, and no change of zone.
