How long was the 6 year project.? Heading for Katze, episode 3. Hydro-electric and water security.

IMPORTANT LINKS: To SUBSCRIBE to my CHANNEL:    / @hoggi43   “HEADING FOR KATSE EPISODE 3" How long the project providing hydo-electric and water security! As a result of the Katse Dam project, Lesotho got 100 kilometres of new tar road and 260 kilometres of new gravel road, while 1000 kilometres of existing gravel road was upgraded. During the construction period a truckload of cement and fly ash, was transported by road from Ficksburg, 170km away with a load delivered every 40 minutes 24 hours a day for the 6 year period. Always bare in mind that the roads to Katse are treacherous especially when there is snow so avoid speed and ride with great caution. The Katse Dam built in 1998 is located in Lesotho in the Central Maluti Mountains on the Malibamatso River The dam is of the concrete arch type with a height of 185 m, 60 metres wide at the base, 9 metres wide at top with a total length of 710m. It not only supplies water to South Africa but also generates 110 MW of hydropower (110 MW). I have visited Katse Dam on six separate occasions on motorbikes and stayed at one of the houses within their compound or camped in tents in their campground. Be warned that fuel is often difficult to find in these remote areas of Lesotho, so arrange for a support vehicle to carry your own supply, tents and provisions. What does the Basotho blanket symbolise? The Basotho heritage blanket has deep cultural significance to the Basotho nation. The designs symbolize fertility and growth. Its tight, thick weave is soft, warm, and repels rain and wind, just as it has been designed to do for over a century. I have more than 250,000 miles of adventure experience the largest part of which was visiting destinations "WHERE NO MAN'S GONE BEFORE".
