A $3 billion initiative aimed at alleviating Johannesburg's water crisis is facing opposition from local communities alleging displacement and lack of compensation. A formal complaint has been submitted to the African Development Bank requesting a temporary halt to the Lesotho Highlands Water Project II due to environmental and social grievances. The project, which aims to transport water from Lesotho to South Africa, has been delayed further, intensifying water shortages and political scrutiny.
