Sounding the empowerment trumpet

That Nchindo heads Debswana Diamond Company, the largest earner of Botswana’s foreign exchange, is only part of the story.

Picture this. He has been close to Mogae since they were students at Oxford University. He still has the president’s ear. With Khama, Nchindo shares a passion for wildlife conservation. The pair is amongst the most influential figures in the conservation lobby. Even outside their common interest, they are everyday firm friends.
