JOHANNESBURG - The Water and Sanitation Minister says delays to the Lesotho Highlands Water Project will not be tolerated.
Minister Pemmy Majodina also issued a stern warning to her Lesotho counterpart that the project must get back on track.

Majodina is leading a delegation to the mountain kingdom to assess progress on Phase Two of the project.
It includes the construction of the 165-metre Polihali Dam, and a 38-kilometre transfer tunnel.
That's expected to channel nearly 500-million cubic metres of water into the Vaal River system.
The Minister says compensation for families who will be relocated to make way for the dam is being looked at.
