24:01Now PlayingThis edition of Next Africa explores how water is fast becoming the continent's defining constraint. With demand rising alongside population growth, supply of potable water is struggling to keep up. Bloomberg's Jennifer Zabasajja speaks with lenders including the World Bank and the African Development Bank, who say closing the gap will require faster reforms and far greater investment. Plus, we head to Lesotho, where vast highland water projects are supplying South Africa and generating hundreds of millions in revenue. And in Johannesburg, shortages are turning water into a political flashpoint ahead of municipal elections. Mayoral candidate Helen Zille explains why fixing the city's failing infrastructure must be a top priority.
