- More than a thousand fortune seekers have flocked to a small village in South Africa's province of Kwa Zulu Natal to search for diamonds.
The rush comes after a herder discovered what he believes to be a quartz crystal. The government has sent mining experts to assess the findings.
DW correspondent Adrian Kriesch went to KwaHlathi, about 250km from Durban, to do some digging.

So a person finds a diamond on their property or in general and they can't keep it? But other people get rich off of them. Unbelievable.
Same law every country, need a permit to mine. This especially so as it seems to be public land.
@@annoyedaussie3942 if it's on their land they should get all the proceeds. That's my point.
Hello Greetings, How are you doing? Thanks so much I appreciate your comment here okay.
That’s what I was thinking as well.... governments are unreasonable
@@dare2be520 I mean if it's on their own property what gives a government the right to take that away?
a specialist can verify a real diamond in under a minute. yet here we are, more than 7 days and counting...
Qqqq
funny thing is that diamonds are actually worthless... but then there's marketing.
Like everything else, they're worth whatever people are willing to pay for them.
Same for Gold.
I got bad news for them: diamonds are not rare, 'De Beers' has warehouses full of it to avoid flooding the market and crashing the price and Australia makes artificial diamonds which can be used for jewelry and for industrial use like on cutting machines.
Why is the price holding steady?
@@shafiyaalgiquadra1105 they keep them in the warehouses and only a few are allowed to be sent to circulate. Gives the illusion of having something rare and expensive when in reality we all could have diamonds for free.
@@shafiyaalgiquadra1105 it’s called supply and demand, create a market that makes it seem your product is scarce and rare and only supply a handful at a time. Do you want to sell a million diamonds for R1 or one diamond for a million rand?
@@GypsyHunta the world is just ruled by cartels isn't it?😟
May that give people there better life and better tomorrow
Maybe 1 or 2 , but most of them are losing time there .
Easiest way to identify a rough diamond is to look at its crystal structure. Diamonds have a cubic (4 sides) structure, whereas quartz have a hexagonal (6 sides) structure.
You will know if it is real or not when the government moves in and throws you out. The last thing you want to do is to let the government know anything about your find.
once saw these around chiadzwa before diamonds were discovered
Diamonds... Change everything in your life
Government will not say it soon if it is a real diamond.
Diamond seem like a blessing but i saw a video of some locals beheading someone to protect the area..
Weeeeeee are you sure?
Diamonds are worthless, the only reason they are expensive is because one company has monopoly over it and they control the supply and create a demand through marketing.
Diamond precious because this is the hardest material on earth. Even the dust itself used to make drills and grinders
@@sufikhoirunisanisa5672 You can make diamonds in a lab.
It's not too hard to find out if they are diamonds. Both the government, and, the middlemen who have stepped in to buy from the finders, are just planning to rip the villagers off.
Wow! Super that was so great I wanna go there too and find some diamonds
Me too, let's go together 😀
@Vader Ze Darth 👎
@I Curse Your Village 😎👎
@@Meme-pw7if yes let’s go
@I Curse Your Village I’m a farmer I grow my own food and I’m proud to feed people what can you eat without farmers? diamonds is a girls best friend it could be nice to go and find my own diamonds without buying it just lucky day you know thanks for your lovely comment
Hopefully, the British army will not invade that region this time
Not for quartz crystals
That is our treasured ally.
Just get a diamond tester they are cheap
Absolute insanity. 😑
Not allowed to keep them.... this government is mad but it serves them right for voting it into power.
Unidentified stones that lured thousands of fortune seekers to a rural South African village were not diamonds as hoped, officials said on Sunday, but quartz stones with relatively low if any value.

power of hope
Please allow poor people to have a chance to become rich also...please
Suddenly video diamond vs quartz getting more popular
I go to Africa tomorrow
well lets hope the government does not take this opportunity away from the people
DIAMONDS ARE ACTUALLY ABUNDANT, its just that the diamond industry manipulated its supply to make it seem rare and marketed it to artificially pump up its price.
I hope it really will be worth it because otherwise they've truly destroyed what appeared to be fairly arable land.
good luck on that.
even south africa is still africa
There will always be people who will lie of your success.....citizens pick up a diamond and they say it's quartz south Africa have the most diamond mines
First binged on this story this past Thursday and the holes have since gotten bigger, wider x deeper.
I wish them strength to keep digging but mostly wish they'd wear masks for protection because wow hey, wow.
WOW
It takes only minutes to confirm if it's diamonds or not. I wonder why its taking too long to confirm 🤔
It’s not diamonds
oversupply of diamonds, its very cheap now..
I hope they are diamonds.
Government of South Africa will never tell you the truth.
Debeers are right now thinking of ways to buy up all those rocks so as to control the supply. The price of diamonds will crush if those rocks hit the market
Why the reporter didn't bring a diamond tester with him😳
the rush is filled by frustations for scary unemployement.
Geological survey will clear the dream.Maybe there are others mineral to dig for but not diamond x sure.
If it's diamond for real it belongs to those people digging not foreign companies
Looks fun and exciting. 😀
I’d be happy if I found an edible mushroom that’s what I’ve been looking for 🤣 good luck digging, but it sounds like you can’t keep what you find unfortunately ☹️ so maybe plant some 🌳🌳🌳 in them there dug holes instead 😎
🚀🎑🛰️
Try and stop them from keeping any diamonds found. Lol. The police here won't be able to control that.
Diamond mines that make the exploiting power a millionaire and those who work as slaves miserable, in subhuman conditions for the despot who claims to be the owner of the mine. Greetings from Medellín. Colombia. 🇨🇴
the slaves should seek out the owner together and eliminate him.
The Law! Very suspicious.....
🤐 isn't it?
Who actually profit from this Law?
My point exactly. They are milking the citizens of everything they have after that they hide behind empty laws. Until the people wake up themselves they shall always be oppressed. These laws are exactly what people should be protesting about.
SA is already in mild dictatorship but most are ignorant and can't see.
Aah Aah Aah BMW
blood diamonds....how many times do i have to see leo die!?!?
There are so many expensive jewels in Africa.. The land of poor people, I hope government won't restrict them picking their own destiny and good furtune..
Those are the peoples resources and we don't take kindly to citizens helping themselves to the peoples wealth.
i hope they also have a rich life
South Africa is most exploited even today. They are still poor even if they have massive resources
Its our goverments and presidents thats the problem . they want BEE to keep the country corrupt
That many holes in the ground even without diamonds they can plant a lot of trees to grow some stuffs
Fruit trees.
Never trust a corrupt government!
You digg
In all of my GENIUS, interesting fact that African citizens are prohibited from keeping DIAMONDS 💎
Us Europeans and China will hopefully move in and take what is rightfully ours.
No one is going to do that over diamonds. They would if it was lithium, cobalt, or any deposits important in the manufacturer of electronics, fighter planes, batteries and so forth.
@@guardianoffire8814 That's already being done.....
Just get a diamond tester, and test. All of them
Diamond tester anyone?
Unfortunately government is still cooking up a storm as to how to take candy from the babies mouth. That's why his people still don't know whether these are diamonds or not
When you tell your friend your secret fishing spot
Belgium: Hold my frit
each time when i'm starting to think that our socio-economic system can not get more ridiculous... i hear story like this. those people probably dosen't even realize that dimonds are expensive because of one reason and one reason only - artificially restricted supplay by the diamond monopoly. waist of time and energy of this people, devastation of beautiful land in the process,...
South Africa like cheap side .. see how they can be mugu lol
