it's bigger neighbor button to soto has something very valuable for drought played south africa water. increasingly, however, this provision of water for its neighbor is creating problems for both local people and the ecosystem. water rich, la soto is keeping thirsty south africa alive, but the tiny, landlocked country as paying a high price for it. we didn't anticipate to god damn saying the so to 30 did misery. that is bringing will perhaps i will warn will to the law, i see nothing of the better life that they promised us would rather do. if it were up to me, i would decide against building the damn the needful water islip africa grains high. and the souls of such water remains the little islands were to prove. we have been able to divert water

add to a sub africa, but we are limited by the quality of our environment. the pit i had when i back when the children were growing up, this was a beautiful and peaceful village. we looked out for each other. nobody here went to bed hungry, but look what happens now. people don't trust each other any more. it's just not the same. here in much harbor righty sees village. phase 2 of the le soto highlands water project started 3 years ago. one of 5 damages is being built here to supply water to neighboring south africa. the entire village has been moved to another location warmer the construction work hit us hard. they had promised us jobs, and i wasn't. our children are supposed to be earning something from this, but instead they're out of work for about

a while. other people in south africans get the jobs we go hungry one and they also took our fields till another about glasses, the cornfields and grazing land. now, house construction workers, far from leading to greater prosperity, the dam has brought misery for residence. driving 8000 people from their homes. the water will flow to south africa's financial hub, johannesburg, 400 kilometers away. for the 16000000 people in the city and surrounding province la, so toes dams a vital and already provide 60 percent of their water since the project is financed with south african taxpayers money. eula. kline hans has been monitoring it for a long time. he works for the organisation outer, which seeks to expose corruption and mismanagement me,

urbanized ations taking place and future development, then expansion of business needs more water. the problem is we are only very limited to the water that we have in south africa. we don't have innovative technologies and circulated infrastructure yet to recycle water. and currently we highly rely on the las jonathan's face to scheme to provide future demands. it's one of the largest infrastructure projects in africa and is supposed to benefit both sides. south africa, paisley soto, nearly 70000000 euros a year for the water under so tight uses the dams to generate electricity for its population with the local project manager from the list. so to highlands authority, tulsa, let him 5 years time. the dumb wool will stand bright hair, $5000.00 hectares of land will them be flooded? as we are all away, this kind of projects would have social impacts and environmental impacts. and ha,

we as the project headline number of fi programs, which had been there, is customer lead vocal many desert as ways and means or ha, ha, mitigating against the laws of land. that the laws over there like crazy, ellia fin perpetual. met to sea sick. we heard exactly the same promises 24 years ago when the cap saddam was built. all other dams feet that water into this reservoir, from where its pipe to south africa. sick we works for the se and only legal center . it's hoping local people like here in the village of maha lang to now claim the compensation they were promised. it's a while on yahoo! away down with as everyone knows, yeah, i wrote that you were severely impacted by the construction of the dam. will you? he writes, have been traveled on may about martha. we all know why your water springs have run

dry load my, which i wouldn't have, it would yell will not be it in the walking. can that then we had decided to use the money to get our village connected up to electricity in all yet, but the development authority has done nothing. all look it up. we're still waiting for power in my polling. my bid in the area decry late. i don't know to tell them when i tell you we also promised compensation for the loss of our homeland and the pain we had because of the resettlement. and how could i help? some people here got injured during the move wouldn't be too much to this day. we have not received anything really got a blue moon on the body. i was conceived jill bye to an demo cantico governments of south africa a possibility him and the military regime in minnesota.

those governments did not have mandate from the people they did. and they said need for the review or basically to the project is also threatened by massive soil erosion. the construction of the dams, along with overgrazing and climate change mean more and more soil is being eroded by the rain and ends up in rivers. a sediment in many places only by rock remains totally to say, lay as a consultant for a national project. the aims to protect the photos, rivers, work as hair rebuilding low walls into the hillside to reduce the speed and force of rain water run off and prevent erosion. they also remove invasive shrubs, but what otherwise white powder endemic ponds he's roots help to keep the soil in place with the current erosion the life off. such dems

would be fairly compromised the lifetime, because in no time there will be more full of sediment done. water, so this would be lost investment and therefore we depend largely on biodiversity, the type of visit to the neighbors infiltration of water. oh really? oh oh. which is the space we went to weird for 10 more. yes, there will be time will not be able to produce anything. and then we become a failed state. in my opinion, i read the rings of saving this or letting

transportation that gives the cartels a share of profits while pushing a prices. any one refusing to pay up is threatened, or worse, montana kill traders. i'm going in and fixed line prices and then personally more. how is they attack you and dictate how much you have to pay them? and unless you know hopelessly of the complain at a similar manner, well in wiley chavez is determined to carry on the struggle come what may hill was only me see who i lost one of my sons studies and a lot of friends who'd fought alongside me from bunyan mm hm. it's a pain that you're on will very deep. you say you will not let them. other farmers have already fled the violence, leaving behind tens of thousands of trees to wither away with no one to harvest their fries. and that gap in supply on the market is a further reason for the rise in prices back in you can turn the farmers at least

them up. so they're held in custody for $24.00 or 36 hours. whether it's a facial, some of them have to do a little cleaning work somewhere before they're released within. sadly made out this night has been a calm and quiet one for lime farmer, david medina. he summoned a sharmen in order to keep it that way. together they make a sacrificial offering of herbs to the sacred deities. so they be asked to name was an error. so we do this because we have faith that will work so that we're able to harvest our fruit, want dinner. and i also pray for the line prices to stabilize so that farmers like him can earn enough and sleep peacefully again. this li, current label team comes from the nevin and i have a global team. and i started
