They buy a large percentage of our exports and they provide a much cheaper labor force for South Africa's manufacturing sector. Since the minimum wage was introduced in South Africa it's estimated that 38% of South Africa's factories moved to neighboring countries like Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique to keep their pricing more competitive.
South Africa actually buys water from Lesotho. It's called the The Lesotho Highlands Water Project. The purpose of the project is to provide Lesotho with a source of income in exchange for the provision of water to the central Gauteng province where the majority of industrial and mining activity occurs in South Africa, as well as to generate hydroelectric power for Lesotho (currently almost 100% of Lesotho's requirements).
