I wrote about The destruction of this Boeing 747 in my book Government by Deception. I made a multi-part video about it. I am fully aware of the junk stories people claim about it. I stand firmly by my original analysis.
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.

In this video I show the tough side of Apartheid. In this video I show people how only 3 million Whites in South Africa, making up only 19 of the population, were able to shunt the other 81 of the population around at will.
