Sharing value: Motsomi says Debswana's impact over the decades has gone far beyond unearthing diamonds in rich soils around the country.

Debswana is stepping up celebrations for its 55th anniversary, with a campaign focussed on how the decades of mining have impacted the lives of Batswana and lifted the economy to where it can transform further.

The anniversary’s theme is “More than Diamond Mining,” which Minerals and Energy minister, Lefoko Moagi, said points to the transformational role Debswana has played in the development of modern Botswana, beyond mining activities.
