Whites have never been babies. We do many dangerous things without even thinking about it. In 1934, even a child could order a machinegun by mail order. There were zero school shootings back then.
South Africa’s commercial hub, Gauteng Province, will be short of water until a cross-border supply expansion is completed in about 2029, a government official said.
Delays to the second phase of the $2 billion (R37.9 billion) Lesotho Highlands Water Project have left Gauteng – and a wider region that accounts for about 60% of South Africa’s economic activity and in which 26 million people live – without adequate supply, said Sean Phillips, director general of the Department of Water and Sanitation.
Until the Lesotho expansion is completed, “supply is very tight,” Phillips said in a webinar on Wednesday organized by Creamer Media.
The threat of inadequate supply to the country’s industrial heartland was highlighted this month when a vast swath of the country’s biggest city, Johannesburg, was left without water for almost two weeks after a breakdown.
Rand Water, the bulk supplier that draws water from the first phase of the Lesotho Project, warned Johannesburg and two other major urban centres that its systems were on the verge of collapse.
Both this phase of the Lesotho project and the uMkhomazi Water Project, which is due to supply the southeastern city of Durban, are now proceeding after having stalled, Phillips said.
The Lesotho project consists of the construction of the Polihali Dam in Lesotho as well as tunnels to transfer the water to the Vaal River system in South Africa.
It will boost the annual supply of water to South Africa from Lesotho to 1.26 billion cubic meters from 780 million currently.

White Shop: Fire Force: A Troopers War In The Rhodesian Light Infantry
This is the best book Ive read about Rhodesia which describes the life of a young soldier who is in the Fire force. These guys were called into battle several times a day and the fighting was hectic. This book is very well written and you never get bored.
