Johannesburg receives its water mostly from the Vaal dam and also, through the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, it also receives water from the Katse Dam in Lesotho.
People in Lesotho primarily get their water from mountain streams and rivers, as the country is rich in natural water resources due to its high altitude and abundant rainfall. The major water source is the Senqu River, which flows through the country and is vital for both domestic use and agriculture. Additionally, many rural areas rely on wells and springs, while urban centers have more access to piped water systems. The Lesotho Highlands Water Project also plays a significant role in supplying water to South Africa and improving local water infrastructure.
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).

Yes, much of South Africa's water comes from the snowcapped peaks from the mountainous kingdom of Lesotho :)
