Illegal mining carries a great social and economic cost for both countries, says the President.
Ramaphosa said respective governments were working with the mining company on the best methods and plan to retrieve the bodies of the miners without endangering the rescue personnel.“We welcome the commitment made by the prime minister to prioritise the implementation and completion of the comprehensive National Reforms Process. We commend the government and people of the Kingdom of Lesotho for finalising the Action Plan to monitor the completion of the reforms process,” said Ramaphosa.
“The Lesotho Highlands Water Project contributes to job creation in Lesotho and the construction of new roads, bringing access to previously inaccessible areas of Lesotho. South Africa is ready to cooperate with Lesotho to resolve any challenges that may arise in the implementation of the project,” he said.“South Africa is keen to work with the Kingdom of Lesotho on the four proposed renewable energy projects.
“Our respective ministers should continue their engagements so that we can see progress on these proposed developments.”
