Sounds smart. But don't just be a talking President...hit the ground and make an impact your Excellence. Botswana might be on the blink of a great transformation to greater heights with this leader.
All that require research , time and serious funding. There is a reason why Taiwan is the leading creator of chips and semiconductors . They are not easy to make . To show the importance China wants to absorb Taiwan while America is in the far west screaming over my dead body. TSMC ( Taiwan) was recently funded billions to go to the states to make them there as if intel doesn't exist.
Bostwana must manage the entire diamond production cycle..move away from these colonial arrangements of de beers .. as if Botswana cant mine its own minerals ..its only because you have not invested in manufacturing your own machinery in diamond production are you still dependent on debeers
Industry and commerce doesn't thrive in a country with a very small population thats why Botswana wants to make it easier for Zimbabweans so that they can stop depending with South Africa only
So, you want us to buy our own minerals? The department of minerals and energy can give license to the govt and mine for free. I stand with Masisi on this one, a foreigner entity cannot determine the right to land they do not own.
@@David-u6x4f dihema don’t understand that they are buying what belongs to them just because they are victims of colonialism. If de beers can’t find agreement with the government let them go, why monopolize our property to someone robbing us??
Blame it on all those who came before.. They allowed foreigners land rights for peanuts, and now it is almost impossible to take it back without damaging the country's image.. Zimbabweans know too well about this. There are no easy solutions my bro!!
@ policies can always be changed, it won’t be easy because they already have a military base and batshwere dipilisi tsa bolwetse jwa bone, rona we say it’s end times. Jesus is about to come.
The interviewer probably still has the colonial liberation mindset and doesn't understand why Botswana can't just demand a larger cut of diamond revenue for free.
I agree, South Africa Madd the same mistakes and now realize that some agreements were really not mutually beneficial. Masisi was on the right track with the 50/50 deal. The diamonds are on Botswana's land and Botswana should have a fair stake, 15% is not fair at all. They need to review the agreement not buy shares from the existing the agreement.
@@David-u6x4fBotswana owns 15% of shares in De beers the company that has mining rights in Namibia, South Africa, Canada, Russia, Angola etc. I think you are confusing 15% with thinking De beers and Botswana diamonds partnership in respect of Botswana wholly which is a 50%-50% joint venture. Then there is the mined diamonds shareholding.
Colonialism at work, he can’t even himself explain why Botswana owns only 15% of her resources while a colonial company Anglo America still own 85% diamond mining rights. Well Botswana could get other competitive companies to bid for rights to mine but nope Anglo America will never leave till diamonds are depleted unless Botswana wanna become another collateral damage like Congo. Check who is the largest exporter of diamonds in the world but doesn’t have a diamond mine. Africa is still colonized.
While at it... kindly note that there is De Beers and Debswana. Both different entities though one but different arrangements. e. g Botswana owns 15 percent of De Beers(shareholding structure) which operates beyond the Botswana boarders. Concerning Debswana which primarily operates in Botswana, the joint company btwn the Botswana gov and De Beers, its a partnership that entails mining rights for Orapa and Jwaneng deposits not the entire mineral/diamond deposits in BW. On this clip the bulk of the interview is on the efforts to increase the stake in the De Beers entity(which has been flaunted on the market for a while now) and ultimatetly roundoff the pending 'Debswana' negotiations but this time around with more bargaining power. Let it be far from you to think that His Excellency is intellect-bound by colonialism or its cousins. He has on numerous occasions publicly denounced those. He is not feeble minded like you said on your first sentence.
The only time resourses are yours is when you have a market .If someone comes to my house and see a rock and start a company to use that rock to make a product I give him the rock .Diamonds are just useless rocks without the UK and American markets . So you can talk and talk without solutions.

@@sawlty-suite5131 He didnt understand that and worse South Africa owns zero percent in De Beers here and he doesnt understand that it is billions per annum .
Mr President, please dont try and buy out De Beers , they have been trying to sell their shares for a while now .The diamonds in Orapa are getting finished now .Only the industrial quality left .Big ones are long gone .
I’m impressed with this new president the people of Botswana have chosen. Well done. I hope he serves the people well.
He will

Everything comes out of his mouth is only wisdom I salute, only wise can understand him
BOTSWANA SHOULD GO TECHNICAL, BECOME A HUB FOR HIGH END MANUFACTURER OF NEEDED, CHIPS, INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS. NEED A MIND - SET CHANGE
That is why I'm changing careers. Going to study Computer science

I feel transparency in these whole matters.In Zimbabwe backdoor deals are the order of everyday

Who divided southern African people because we are one why people always embrace colonial scandal as africans we are one

No we don't want Zimbabweans, Boko is talking in personal capacity
How about Qatar, UAE... Population means nothing.
@@kabzaifyspeak for your self sir because what he is saying makes sense.
Honesty is the best policy
Congratulations
Please Botswana must gain the population please mr president
Yeah time for the Sotho Tribes to unite since they basically speak the same language
The interviewer 'why sale..... ' my goodness.
'why buy'😢
Exactly, why buy, why not? She thinks shares can be gotten for free, or she had a connecting idea? 🤦
Serious lesson for us ja-baas South Africans.. We are simply being left behind.
So, you want us to buy our own minerals? The department of minerals and energy can give license to the govt and mine for free. I stand with Masisi on this one, a foreigner entity cannot determine the right to land they do not own.

Let us wait and see.What this Politician will do for Botswana.
😮
Educate yourself before asking questions
Don't fool yourself,why buy could have been,why not taking over
Why does Anglo want to sell its shares
Cause they know it's not sustainable
This interviewer is a little 🥴
true
This interviewers keeps cutting HE BOKO
Botswana has to think carefully before commiting to any business ventures.
Please explain further
you talk as if Botswana hasn't been involved in Business.. Botswana has and continues to be in business.
