BBC News Africa | Lesotho: 'The water has worms, but we drink it' - BBC Africa @BBCAfrica | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Small Lesotho has something neighbouring South Africa lacks - water, and plenty of it. Since a deal signed in 1986, the country has been making US$ 200 million a year by selling water that turns up in South African taps, while many of its own citizens nowadays don't have access to safe drinking water – including those who live in the shadow of its dams.
