Drone footage of Jwaneng mine in Botswana - the richest diamond mine in the world

Drone footage of Jwaneng diamond mine, the richest diamond mine in the world. It is located in south-central Botswana about 120 kilometers west of the capital city of Gaborone. Jwaneng, meaning "a place of small stones", is owned by Debswana, a partnership between the De Beers company and the government of Botswana.

Botswana used to be one of the poorest countries in the world – and is now widely seen as an African development success story: Botswana. The landlock country managed to use its diamond wealth to the benefit of its people. An upper middle-income country targeting to become a high income country. A small population of less than 3 million people, good governance and economic management are considered the main reasons.

In the past months, demand and prices for diamonds have been surging. Russia - the world's biggest diamond producer by output, is facing sanctions - the second-biggest producer Botswana - is eyeing more market share.
