ORAPA: Diamonds from Debswana operations continue to play a vital role in the country’s economic and social progress, says the general manager of Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mines (OLDM), Bakani Motlhabani.

Giving welcome remarks at Debswana’s 50th Anniversary celebration at Itekeng Stadium on Saturday, Motlhabani said their core mandate is to mine diamonds in a safe and responsible manner.

From all this, our people unearth gems that transform the lives of many across the world,” Motlhabani said.
