Part II: Real or Fake 🧐 💎 In a world filled with misconceptions about diamonds, it's vital to shed light on the real benefits they bring to Botswana and its people. In Part II of our Real vs. Fake series I had the honor of speaking with His Excellency President Masisi of the Government of Botswana, at JCK. Watch as we continue our successful series "Real or Fake?" and set the record straight. Curious to know what’s Real and what’s Fake? Watch the video now and join the conversation! Also head to our page and watch part I with Al Cook, CEO of De Beers Group Your engagement and thoughts are invaluable as we strive to educate the consumer and dispel harmful misinformation online.

Well said, but in my humble opinion lab made diamonds will eventually win this battle. Just too many positives. This coming from myself, a life long mining person. I love mines but sometimes we need to get real.

From Wikipedia, President Masisi "In 1984, he won acclaim for his portrayal of the lead role in a Gaborone production of Cry the Beloved Country. He has taken part in several South African films". No surprises His Excellency did well here!

This really has shades of champagne and sparkling wine - you can't call it champagne without proof of origin from within a certain distance of the region. Effectively this is tapping market share by imitating the real thing. This may come down to "intellectual property to mother nature" eventually ie. if it is not the real thing, call it something else.

Such a chilled, fun and humorous President we have, 🇧🇼
