"The Lesotho Highlands Water Project is more than just a water project," she said. "Local jobs have been created, and new roads have been built in the kingdom."

Constructed by Kopano Ke Matla, a joint venture between China's Yellow River Company, Sinohydro Bureau 3, and South Africa's Unik Civil Engineering, the tunnel is the largest ongoing infrastructure project between the two countries.

Its very name, Kopano Ke Matla, meaning "unity is strength" in the Sesotho language, one of the official languages of Lesotho, reflects the diversity and inclusiveness of the workforce.
