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 neighbour. but 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 is paying a high price for it. we didn't anticipate that the dams here in the so to 30 did misery. that is bringing perhaps worn. we'll put a lot. i see nothing of the better life that they promised us would. rather if it were up to me, i would decide against building the damn that is needful water islip africa. graves high and the souls of such water remains the
