 Making a Killing - The Center for Public Integrity
De Beers gradually offloaded its Kimberley diggings during the 1990s because of a supposed dearth in diamonds, leaving the city as little more than a nostalgic base for the company's board meetings and Harry Oppenheimer House, its main diamond sorting center for southern Africa, named after the man behind the modern De Beers diamond cartel.
International efforts such as the Kimberley Process and the United Nations monitoring mechanism on conflict diamonds have spotlighted the helplessness and ineptitude of the South African authorities – whose monitoring efforts are, by comparison, among the best on the continent.
The Kimberley Process, which includes representatives of the industry and non-governmental organizations, is headed by the chair of the South African Diamond Board, Abbey Chikane.

 Conflict Diamonds are Forever from the Center for Public Integrity report Making a Killing
Until the Kimberley Diamond Exchange opened in 1999 ­ with tight security, surveillance cameras and two double sets of iron gates ­ the birthplace of the South African diamond industry had all but disappeared from the radar of most serious diamond buyers.
And that has fed rumors in the close-knit international diamond community that Kimberley has become a major laundering center for Africa's "conflict diamonds" ­ diamonds from areas of Africa wracked by civil war, where combatants use their control of the mines to fund arms purchases for their fight.
From their musty, forlorn two-story building on a residential street just outside the town center, the officers are tasked with policing illegal diamond buying ­ the acquisition of unregistered stones or by people without diamond licenses ­ as well as any trade in conflict diamonds.

 Swann flies the nest as England wait on ground
KIMBERLEY Airport is not what you would call an emotional place (if there is any sound of joyful sobbing, it is more likely to be in the departure lounge than the arrivals hall) but yesterday morning there was the curious sight of England cricketers hugging one another.
This is not until Friday, which begs the question as to why the players were invited to get up at 6am for their flight to East London yesterday, and then wait for five hours in transit in Johannesburg Airport.
It is hard to imagine the Washington Redskins standing for this, or indeed the England football team, but when it comes to shoving cricketers into the front line, the person responsible at Lord's must have a direct blood line to Field Marshal Haig.
