		Botswana Wants Local Supply As Jwaneng Talks Drag On As Debswana got word that the Jwaneng diamond mine license will be extended a few months, Botswana ministers say that negotiations are not over yet, and would like to see the country gain more from the diamond trade now that they know more about it.
		As negotiations are continuing for longer then expected, the Jwaneng diamond mine will continue to be operated by Debswana, said Akolang Tombale, permanent secretary in the Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water Affairs, in an apparent move to allow mining to continue until negotiations are concluded.
		These problems are compounded by Israeli diamond magnate Lev Leviev’s recent moves in Africa, including the opening of local polishing plants and other downstream partnerships amid great fanfare, that have put De Beers’ unwillingness to follow suit firmly in the spotlight.
