DIAMOND IMBIZO - DIALOGUE TO ACTION.*
South Africa's diamond industry can drive investment, create jobs and grow our economy. But only if government and industry move together.
Today at the Diamond Imbizo, hosted by the State Diamond Trader, we agreed to move from dialogue to action.
- Local beneficiation
- Access to rough, finance & markets
- Investment in the value chain
- Real job creation
- Task teams that deliver
As the youngest in the diamond graduate, I represent Kimberley — where diamonds built the industry, and where its future must be built.
Thank you to the State Diamond Trader, DMRE, and every single person in the South African diamond district who shaped me, taught me, and opened a door.
Now let's build the future.
