Abstract

South Africa and Namibia are engaged in talks to resolve a disagreement over the Orange River, which serves as a key water source and border between the two nations. Namibia seeks to move the border to the middle of the river, while South Africa maintains the 1890 treaty specifying the border along the northern bank. Both countries face water scarcity exacerbated by climate change. The negotiations aim to find a collaborative solution guided by principles of good neighborliness, transparency, and mutual trust.
