Johannesburg and the surrounding Gauteng province are facing a critical water crisis driven by aging infrastructure, rapid population growth, and significant municipal water leaks. To mitigate these shortages, South Africa relies heavily on the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, a large-scale engineering initiative that transfers water from Lesotho’s mountains to the Vaal River system. While the project is essential for regional water security, ongoing delays in expanding the infrastructure and a scheduled six-month maintenance shutdown have raised concerns about the immediate stability of the area’s water supply.
- The Lesotho Highlands Water Project currently provides approximately 60% of the water supply for South Africa’s industrial hub in Gauteng.
- Johannesburg loses nearly half of its treated water due to leaks and poorly maintained municipal infrastructure.
- Phase 2 of the project, which includes the construction of the Polihali Dam, is currently underway to increase capacity but has faced years of delays.
- A planned six-month maintenance closure of the transfer tunnels is scheduled to begin soon, requiring careful management of existing reservoir levels.
- Engineering experts suggest that while the Lesotho water transfer is vital, it cannot fully resolve the crisis without significant local repairs and reduced urban consumption.

Joburg's issue is not that they don't have water in the reservoirs – the dams are full – the issue is that corruption and mismanagement have caused infrastructure collapse, and they cannot pump and distribute enough water for the growing population of Joburg.
