Lesotho: 'The water has worms, but we drink it' – BBC Africa
Small Lesotho has something neighbouring South Africa lacks – water, and plenty of it.

THE ONLY TIME THEY REPORT ABOUT LESOTHO IS NEGATIVE OR HARDSHIPS! WE HAVE A TBM ENTERING LESOTHO – it not reported
That is just basic corruption.
This is sad saw this a few years ago in thaba tseka we as basotho should be ashamed we give water to South Africa what do we get in return our people are drinking dirty water it's a shame

I swear the BBC lives to talk sh*t about Lesotho! A solutions or civic approach to their journalism would be more constructive.
Lesotho has electricity all day everyday and lower levels of inequality in comparison to their next door neighbor
😢
What the fuck is wrong with African governments and not caring a single bit of about the very people who they should be worrying about? are we in some type of stupor? is it so hard? God bless you Africa
"If you have a dam and you see water flowing out". tbf, we just saw a dam with water flying back in 00:53

There's something wrong in Africa coz this is also happening in Kenya
Not a single report on the ongoing Congolese genocide and bad governance in Africa yet they’re so quick to highlight the stereotypical issues Please stop selling these stereotypes about Africa to the world africans drink potable water too
So This is where black South African live and br hating on other African 😂😂 the way they talk about Nigeria, you would think all is well with them.
Do they boil the water I hope so
It has come to understanding that BBC is only showing bad sited of Africa…
I pray that everyone watching this receives everything they desire and deserve in Jesus Mighty name.Amen
Don't they know to boil the water first?
And they vote these people in and all they end up doing is crying and dying. Africa will never rise because corruption is all it's full of.
Western chlorine filled water isn’t great at all 💡
