is one of the world's highest situated countries. as an enclave, it's entirely surrounded by south africa and is largely economically dependent on 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 bury the misery 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 against that building. the dam is needful, water islip, africa, grains high and the souls of such water remains the little islands will approach.

we have been able to divert water. it was haul africa, but we are limited by the quality of our environment. a pit i had one night 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 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. our children

are supposed to be earning something from this, but instead they're out of work for adults, while other people in south africans get the jobs we go hungry one and they also took our fields. yeah. so another thing about gas in the cornfields and grazing land. now, how's 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. the so toast dams of 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 jar lens 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 17000000 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 time highlands authority tells us that him 5 years time, the dumb wool will stand right? 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 i, we, as the project helpful at number of programs, which had been discussed, mac lead vocal many, it is a, as ways that means ha, ha, ha, mitigating against the laws of land that the laws over there, grazing alia, fin perpetual mer to sea sick, we heard exactly the same promises 24 years ago when the camp saddam was built. all other dams feet that water into this reservoir, from where its pike to south africa. sick we works for the santa legal center. it's hoping local people like here in the village of maha, lang to now claim the compensation they were promised. yeah, tommy, it's a while on yahoo way. down with as everyone knows, yeah,

antique governments of south africa, a possibility him and the military. it at the gym in minnesota. those governments did not have mandate from the people they did, they said need for the review of this region. 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 as a consultant for a national project, the aims to protect the so toes, 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 shrub,

but otherwise white powder endemic ponds. he's roots help to keep the soil in place with the current erosion the life. also stems 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 bio diversity, the type of biodiversity that enables infiltration of water or, or regionally d o ring. mm hm. which is, ah, limited. if we went to weird for 10 more, yes, there will be time when may not be able to produce anything. and then

getting killed if they talk as every one he says, pays protection money one way or the other where the 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 kill traders, and going in and fixed line prices. and then presumably more. how is they attack you and dictate how much you have to pay them unless you know what was the complain? edison goldman law, we're in wylie. chavez is determined to carry on the struggle. come, what may you was only me see who i lost one of my sons studies and a lot of friends who fought alongside me. companion did some 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 frees. and that gap in supply on the market is

a further reason for the rising prices. back in you can turn the farmers at least don't have the cartels to worry about. just the petty line feed was allowed 1 april monday. local law enforcement provide support for the farmers patrol. squire example police chief nelson avila has been analyzing the thieves tactics. it'll piazza, leather em, hello. what do they do? they don't come in through the main entrance. they cut themselves a path through here to gain access to the premises when it gets hot in that i don't know if that when he hopes prices will come down a little soon and that com will be restored to the community. he currently had his 5 lime thieves a week together with their hall. if he is for employ, if that goose batch hears stolen goods look into this and the themes won't say where they're from. so that means we don't know who to return the meeting on some of those apprehended are repeat offenders,

but there is little the police can do to the frustration of the farmers in order by family mon pull the quantity stolen by each individual is too small to charge them . 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's summoned to sherman in order to keep it that way. together they make a sacrificial offering of herbs to the sacred deities. rather 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 leakage label team comes from 11 and i have
