Boerewors rolls, sodastream and a sleepover..Thursday night.
The Weight of Water
1841 steps. Every day for three years now Maphello Sephiri and the residents of Meqheleng township have taken an 83- minute journey by foot to survive. The prize: water.
Twice a day, two 25- litre drums of water are collected, each weighing 25kg. This is done to make sure that 16 year old Mojalefa has a clean uniform for school; so that three-year-old Tsepag can have pap; so that they can insulate their tin and cardboard shack from the biting cold here in the highlands bordering Lesotho. This is done to make sure that Andries Tatane did not die in vain.This is the weight of water.
Wish a plumber could do some tricks with cheap plastic pipes [even 2nd hand ones] and take it down the 1841 steps, with a tap at the end of the plastice pipes. Possible?
