      All that require research , time and serious funding. There is a reason why Taiwan is the leading creator of chips and semiconductors . They are not easy to make . To show the importance China wants to absorb Taiwan while America is in the far west screaming over my dead body. TSMC ( Taiwan) was recently funded billions to go to the states to make them there as if intel doesn't exist.

      I agree, South Africa Madd the same mistakes and now realize that some agreements were really not mutually beneficial. Masisi was on the right track with the 50/50 deal. The diamonds are on Botswana's land and Botswana should have a fair stake, 15% is not fair at all. They need to review the agreement not buy shares from the existing the agreement.

    Colonialism at work, he can’t even himself explain why Botswana owns only 15% of her resources while a colonial company Anglo America still own 85% diamond mining rights. Well Botswana could get other competitive companies to bid for rights to mine but nope Anglo America will never leave till diamonds are depleted unless Botswana wanna become another collateral damage like Congo. Check who is the largest exporter of diamonds in the world but doesn’t have a diamond mine. Africa is still colonized.

      While at it... kindly note that there is De Beers and Debswana. Both different entities though one but different arrangements. e. g Botswana owns 15 percent of De Beers(shareholding structure) which operates beyond the Botswana boarders. Concerning Debswana which primarily operates in Botswana, the joint company btwn the Botswana gov and De Beers, its a partnership that entails mining rights for Orapa and Jwaneng deposits not the entire mineral/diamond deposits in BW. On this clip the bulk of the interview is on the efforts to increase the stake in the De Beers entity(which has been flaunted on the market for a while now) and ultimatetly roundoff the pending 'Debswana' negotiations but this time around with more bargaining power. Let it be far from you to think that His Excellency is intellect-bound by colonialism or its cousins. He has on numerous occasions publicly denounced those. He is not feeble minded like you said on your first sentence.
