Lesotho, Botswana and South Africa sign Memorandum of Understanding

Lesotho, Botswana and South Africa have signed a memorandum of understanding to examine options for Botswana to draw water from Lesotho to boost its economic development.

Lesotho sells water from the Lesotho Highlands Water Project to South Africa. Ministers from the three countries met in Maseru in recognition of the need to collaborate in addressing acute water scarcity issues.
