We have gained from this, but with COVID-19 we are experiencing one of many drawbacks associated with this model. We have seen the globalisation of an epidemic – now a pandemic – that respects no borders. In many respects we have been fortunate that something matching this scale has not happened earlier despite previous hints at this. The other perspective is that of the epidemic of globalisation itself and what has been exposed as a result of this virus. The benefits of globalisation in manufacturing has lowered costs and facilitated specialisation associated with presumed competitive advantages. To give two examples: The giant Boeing 787 Dreamliner has massive plants in Italy, Japan and United States manufacturing the one-piece composite fuselage barrels and wings and these aspects need to be completely in-sync and integrated across the globe. A major American notebook computer has its LCD display manufactured in South Korea or Taiwan, the microprocessor and motherboard in China, the memory in Japan, the hard disk drive in Singapore, Thailand or the Philippines, and the battery in Malaysia or Mexico.

It costs less than the imported pumps and produces a higher output because it was designed for the specific local topography of rural Zambia. Using their Mosi-o-Tunya, Veronica’s family has already started reaping the benefits of additional income from irrigated produce thanks to IDE’s links to wholesalers and caterers in Livingstone. Hard work and keen entrepreneurial instincts have resulted in a dramatically improved quality of life for Veronica and her family. Due to an increased productivity and sales, in less than one year, she has been able to build a new house and send her children to school. Easy to use tread pump can pump water from a well or a river and easily transported.

It lies in a valley to the south of the Magaliesberg mountain range and north of the Witwatersberg mountain range, about 35 kilometres north west of Johannesburg and 20 kilometres Hartbeespoort . west of Pretoria. A The dam was originally designed for irrigation, which is currently its primary use, as well as for domestic and industrial use. The town consists of holiday homes and permanent residences around the dam as it is popular with visitors from nearby Gauteng Province. Hartbeespoort Aerial Cableway is (the longest monocableway in Africa. FIGURE 3.4: FACT FILE ON HARTBEESPORT DAM FACT FILE – Hartbeespoort Dam area 2527 DB.
