Read how Botswana built the University of Botswana, you will understand why we will be fine even in the situation we find ourselves.

We haven't sold a single Diamond in 3 to 5 years and have been surviving on new Copper mines and now more rare earth minerals have been discovered and the government is trying to make more streams of income we are chilling ( might be starving now but the economy is going to be doing wonderfully in years to come)

They don't even own those diamonds. De Beers still own them and they give them small percentage royalties.

The same old story, the lack of foresight from African leaders. obviously, the diamond market stays were numbered. but they are only too happy to accept the pennies they got for those raw materials and keeping those pennies for themselves.

Seems Botswana is a beacon of light in the tumultuous region of Africa. May it overcome its current challenges and continue to be a peaceful country.

The more I read about Southern Africa, the more it seems that the states there are deeply reliant on South Africa, and the reliance seems to be growing, why?
