Aggregation finally moves to Gaborone

Aggregation activities, which were initially supposed to move to Gaborone in 2009, will be launched next week in Botswana at a ceremony to be officiated by Vice President Ponatshego Kedikilwe at the Diamond Trading Company (DTC) Botswana headquarters.

De Beers Botswana spokeswoman Chipo Mrara confirmed the launch of the aggregation activities in Gaborone next week. As part of the 2011 sales and marketing agreement, De Beers and government agreed to relocate the former's aggregation, sales and marketing activities to Botswana.
