Summary, etc This article, published by the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa, examines how the relationship between the Botswana government and the largest diamond company in the country, Debswana is potentially costing the country millions of dollars. The article reveals that Botswana’s secretive diamond economy is potentially constructed around the coinciding and self-perpetuating interests of a ruling party and a private entity. Although Botswana is ranked by Transparency International as the least corrupt country on the continent, this article unpacks the mechanisms that induced this potential loss.
