Village: write the name and number of the village in the space provided
Record all the names by which the village is known, beginning with the one which appears more permanent than the others, e.g. if a village is called after the name of the present headman, such a name is not very permanent because it may die with that headman. So try to find out if there are other names of a permanent nature.
Be careful about the villages, which share a common area name. An example of this phenomenon will be found in villages, which surround Qeme Plateau. Such villages should be clearly distinguished from one another by local names, e.g. Qeme, Ha Mantsebo, Qeme Ha Mpo, Qeme Ha Ramorakane etc. If it is a town, write the name of the township e.g. Ha hoohlo Maseru, Lisemeng in Hlotse and Mampoboleng in Moyeni.

The head of the household (hlooho ea lelapa) is generally the one who is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the household. He/she is not necessarily the oldest person in the household. However, your main guide to who is the head is whoever will be pointed to you as the head when you ask.

Names of Principal/Ward Chief, Area Chief, Village Chief/Headman.

Record here in sequence the name of the principal/ward chief; that of the area chief and finally that of the village chief or headman responsible for administering the village.

I.e. as area chief, and principal/ward chief. If people in the village do not know the names of the principal and /or ward chief of their area, the village headman will help you.
