The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has announced an additional three-week extension for the closure of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) water transfer and delivery tunnels due to technical challenges. Originally scheduled from 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2025, the maintenance work has been delayed primarily due to unforeseen complications in the Delivery Tunnel South on the Lesotho side of the project.
