New airport terminal is a diamond!

According to a statement from Samuel Mbaiwa of the Ministry of Works and Transport, the design is intended to introduce Botswana to every visitor as a world leader in the diamond industry. Botswana is the world's largest producer of diamond by value.

According to the artist's impressions of the P433 million terminal, the roof design features the use of glass, sharp lines and corners in reference to the mineral. Furthermore, the interior will be 'open' allowing in much more natural light.
