its bigger neighbor button. the 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 billy did miss on that is bringing perhaps worn. we'll put away. i see nothing of the better life that they promised us would. rather if it were up to me, i would decide again said building the dam. that is needful. water islip, africa, grains high and the souls of such water remains the little islands would approve. we have been able to divert water add to a small 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. horse people don't trust each other any more. it's just not the same here in much harbor. righty. seas village. phase 2 of the la 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 or 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. yeah. so another about glasses, the cornfields and grazing land. now house construction workers, far from leading to greater prosperity, the dom 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,

urbanized ations taking place and future development and expansion of business needs more water. and 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 darlene's phase 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 $70000000.00 euros a year for the water. under soto uses the dams to generate electricity for its population of 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 impact and environmental impacts. and ha,

we as the project tablet number of programs which had been there, discussed mac lead vocal amenities are as ways that means ha, ha ha, mitigating against the laws of land that the laws over there are crazy. ellia fin perpetual mer 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 my lang to now claim the compensation they were promised. yeah, i mean it's a while on. yeah. oh yeah. 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 obama. we all know why your water springs have run dry, load my, which how soon will, how much would you, i don't, i mean it. hello again. tell that. then we had decided to use the money to get our village connected up to electricity, e m. okay, low yet. but the development authority has done nothing on all. again, we're still waiting for power and map elaine. my bid in my land. the idea decry later you and i did tell them, and i figure we also promised us compensation for the loss of our homeland and the pain we had because of the resettlement by nora. how could i help her to some people here got injured during the move or winter her to remark, but to this day, we have not received anything really. dora i picked up room would on the project, was conceived july by 2 undemocratic governments of south africa. apathy division,

and the military. it is jim in mistletoe. those governments did not have monday to form the people they did that they said a need for the review of disability. the project is also threatened by massive soil erosion. the construction of the thumbs along with over grazing and climate change means more and more soil is being eroded by the rain and ends up in rivers. a sediment, in many places, only by a rock remains told to say, lay as a consultant for a national project, the aims to protect la so toes, rivers, workers hair, rebuilding low wolves into the hillside to reduce the speed and force of rain war to run off and prevent erosion. they also remove invasive shrubs that would otherwise wipe out endemic plants whose 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. 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

whether for the harvests or their transportation, that gives the cartels a share of profits while pushing a prices. any one refusing to pay up is threatened, or worse, montana killed, traders are going in and fix line prices. and then for the surely more how is they attacked you and dictate how much you have to pay them unless he local perceived the country. i had a similar manner. well in my rear chavez is determined to carry on the struggle. come what may hill was only me see who i lost one of my son saudi's, i mean, and a lot of friends who fought alongside me. one moment. 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

charge them up. so they're held in custody for $24.00 or 36 hours, whether it's a fatal, some of them have to do a little cleaning work somewhere before they're released with them. certainly, but others 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'll be asked to name was an esl, 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. lou. this lee can't label team comes from the nevin and i have a global team. i started
