Chaos amid accusations
MASERU – PRIME Minister Moeketsi Majoro allegedly ignored a legal warning that Lesotho’s assets were about to be seized to settle Frazer Solar’s M855 million claim.
The revelations are in stark contrast to what Majoro and the government claimed last week when it was announced that Frazer Solar was about to seize Lesotho’s assets for breaching a solar contract signed in September 2018.
Majoro told a press conference, last week, that the government was still investigating the issue. The government said the same in a statement that urged Basotho and international partners to remain claim.
However, Frazer Solar this week insisted that the government knew about the claim and the impending seizures.
Reuters reports that SA's Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority has raised just over R15bn in capital markets to continue construction of the Lesotho Highlands water project.

After good summer rains, the dams that supply water to Johannesburg and much of South Africaâs economic heartland are full. This, then, is the time to start worrying about water supplies.
It may sound odd but itâs a lesson learnt from cities across the world over the past two decades. Whether it was Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, Chennai in India, Barcelona in Spain or São Paulo in Brazil, we have seen that, too often, water crises occur because societies donât take action until itâs already too late.
