Botswana’s Duma Boko on Trump, diamonds and unemployment – BBC Africa



Botswana’s new president’s main focus – and the reason behind his victory – is his promise to improve the economy.

Duma Boko says amongst his first moves will be to to sign new deal with global diamond giant De Beers.

Boko believes the agreement has been in jeopardy because of how his predecessor handled negotiations over diamond sales.

With diamond revenues assured, investors would have confidence in Botswana, which would bring in money to the country, Boko told the BBC Africa Daily podcast.

This would aid his ambition to create jobs – 100,000 a year over the next five years.

  1. Trumps disdain for countries he see as “$#!+ #0|€ countries blinded him to your wealth! He won’t make that mistake again!!Partner up well! Refuse the contract of nations who enslaved Africans! They haven’t changed their parasitic ways!

  2. Africa. Possinly the most mineral richest continent on the planet. The leaders are all billionaires from corruption and stolen minerals and the voters all live in poverty. A bunch of clowns

  3. Wow!!! It now true to say this is NEW GENERATION OF LEADERSHIP IN AFRICA!!! MashaAllah!!! May Thee bless Africa and in fact this new leaders starting from Sahel and now in our VICINITY!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

  4. You are misguided on Donald Trump. The pulling on troops has been on ongoing thing since Barack Obama throughout Biden. However there were some issues of the mechanics of it.

  5. Which God do the Batswana pray to which the rest of Africa don't.This a country which had no university at independence and only 12km in the 1960s.Go to Botswana now❤.It's neighbour's had classic infrastructure:RSA and Zim.Go now and see the poverty among the "free" black population.Only the politicians and generals with producing tummies are enjoying that "freedom"
