RE: WOT NO DIAMONDS6 Jun 2023 12:06
Yes, while I agree that there have been missing or even stolen diamonds in the past and the state mining company failed to properly account for some in 2019, the valuation of one batch is quite interesting.
" 352,583.11 carats of diamonds worth about US$146.3 million "
"In 2019, 297 660.41 carats of diamond stock held at MMCZ (Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe) was not counted at the time of the stock count. These parcels were packed for customers and held at MMCZ. However, at year-end, during the stock count, these stocks were not included in closing inventories;"
So there were issues in Zimbabwe.
