White Gold and Thirsty Communities Book launch

This video documents the launch of White Gold and Thirsty Communities, a book that examines the Lesotho Highlands Water Project through the intertwined lenses of Cold War politics, apartheid, diplomacy, and regional power. It explores how a major infrastructure scheme, often celebrated for delivering water to Gauteng, also produced displacement, inequality, and unresolved justice issues for affected communities in Lesotho and South Africa. The discussion positions water not only as a development resource, but as a political and social question shaped by history. It invites reflection on who benefits from large-scale projects and who continues to be left behind.
