- Namibia is called “Africa’s Best-Kept Secret,” and at Diamonds International, we have worked hard to maintain this special country’s way of life while working with its people to develop unexpected designs, cuts, and stones to offer the world. The time and effort is worth it: stunning in its own right, featuring sweeping vistas of extreme contrast, Namibia produces some of the most stunning diamonds on earth.
Diamonds International has sourced its stones from some of the most fascinating places on the planet, and in this video, Hon. Pohamba Shifeta speaks to the wonders of Namibia - from the warmth of its people to the greatness of its landscape.
Celebrating its 10 year anniversary in Namibia, Diamonds International parent company ALMOD is being recognized by industry leaders, DeBeers and the Namibian government for its contribution to the beautification of the local communities and for its dedications to skills transfer.
Crown of Light diamond, Diamond's International signature diamond brand is primarily cut in Namibia. This short documentary shows how the growth of the Crown of Light diamond impacted the personal and professional growth of the employees in Namibia as well.
I long for the day when the CEO and President will be African not just a mere polisher of diamond for the benefit of Europeans.
Africans want to dance (as you can see in the video, where few Namibian males doing their traditional dances), while foreigners tend to take life a little bit more serious. That's the difference. The day that you long for will come only when Africans, especially the males start to take life a little bit more serious. So, let's just hope that day comes. For the sake of the future generations who are being produced now, who by the way have no say in being brought into this world, let's hope that we start looking at life for what it truly is.
And he'll start recruiting his family members and stash all the money overseas Nepotism and corruption is in the DNA of all Africans look Nigeria how rich the country is and how poor are the people they are into scamming bcoz gvt officials are super corrupt to the extent they don't even care about the people
There is such a thing as white fragility you'll see it here in these comments white people fail to see the evils of their ways they will commit the most evil and despicable genocide, be responsible for all the corruption in the world while placing the blame on all of the indigenous people.... Africa has one problem and it's been a problem for Africa from day 1 and that is European's and they're extremely insidious, corrupt government's.
I must say u are right but think about it if u have a dream that takes u to another man's country would u not want to see that dream grow and mostly be in charge of it. Think twice my brother
For once let's appreciate good things and learn from them.

Beautifully said when will Africa rise.........i pray that it is soon
Amen
very true in america it is called the willy lynch theory the physical breaking and mental hobbling of a slave.
Y
I'm Namibian.. N it pains me to watch this.. We own the natural resources.. sell it to the core coz we are the periphery then buy the manufactured products at a more expensive rate.. It's a shame😭
It got to change. That's what Robert Mogabe was preaching in "beneficiation" , and 51 to 100% ownership. These lazy ppl calling themselves "investors" got to know that we know them as nothing but enslavers whose time is up to pack and go.
You are very ignorant. Namibia is too small to make everything. Think before you speak. Or at least
do some research first.
I feel you,Am from Africa and live in overseas but there governments here's can't let this happen...Africa wakeup
@@MrAmhara fuck you for sayiny that shit
@@MrAmhara Use your own name. Do not soil a people's collective name with your unwashed mind. They should throw you in jail. Mindless.
This video is a well put together marketing strategy to sugar coat the economic exploitation of Namibians.
Glad you saw that too. My people are starting to wake up and smell the bullshit.
Amen.
That is what I thought. I never trust a particular people. Very conniving: but I blame the people who allow themselves to be used. But again they dot know if they are being used since they don't know better.
Absolutely, 20 years from now we will be the poorest
So all this people show me a place where the black locals are polishing diamonds ?
I was disappointed, I thought this was a documentary on Namibia, but it seemed more like a advertisement for the Almod Diamonds. TBut beautiful footage and cinematography.
It was a strange documentary on that perspective. It could be a marketing ploy to ingratiate more with the Government.
i myself as a black pan african person can't stand or tolerate repeated black african stupidity doing all this for the benefit of europe
Do any Black people own diamond companies in Namibia?
Never.
Of course they do it with the foreigners together
@@johanngiesbrecht6460 fuck that, who needs those filthy greedy foreigners to begin with
@@nosugarnocream8465 Like it or not, you need their knowledge to compete at the highest level in that market. It's a WIN-WIN. It is sad but there's not many other alternatives.. and this white man is clearly better than MANY MANY MANY others scattered across the continent. We have to make the best of our situation and this is a decent outcome.
@@nosugarnocream8465 we will make u RICH $$$$$.
So let me get this straight, this company takes BILLIONS of dollars out of the country, and in return, the workers "obtain" the knowledge to go work for the same company, and/or other companies in different countries -- and this helps Namibia how??? #lordt
It only makes Europeans more powerful and rich
They pay taxes and make lots of jobs. You would like namibia to be like the shit zimbabue with the tribal australopithecus mind.
Just like monsanto that will bribe african nation governments to put in any of their citizens of the same nation they train to be agricultural minister to allow their GMO product in their respective African countries thats a shame africa wake up, Example Nigerian agricultural minister train by monsanto similar case here in this country, To do their bidding. Using Namibia citizens to exploit their nation i think we know better now.
The employees can provide for themselves and their families. Their children can learn in school and do well in lounge also. Maybe better than their parents.

Africans take your land and take your diamonds back
@Kj_mast_er :. They are certainly invading now. Just because they are unarmed and not wearing uniforms doesn't mean it isn't an invasion. They are also happy enough to 'steal' European resources to which they are not entitled, in the form of welfare benefits and handouts given to them by idiot leftie liberals.
These "Europeans" have been exploiting Southern Africa and running the diamond cartels for over a century: watch?v=Jm7DTCWzRaw
@I find this to be interesting Jarp, jurp jup jup, stop smoking weed. You are so bitter
@@tiberfoaming4191 we will! and we'll watch as Europe becomes third world without stealing and raping our resources.
All European, take all your machines back, let African create their own diamons cutting machines...btw, i'm Malaysian
All I see is European people managing African resources. A few Namibians might get a job, but the majority is benefitless.
David Miles Gimme gimme? How is it gimme gimme when it’s THEIR country and THEIR resources in the first place?
As a means to try to justify mass-importation of the detritus of the Turd World, the Social Justice Warriors of the globalist left continually tell us that no indigenous group has the exclusive right to own any country or its resources. They belong to anyone who takes a fancy to them. So if that's the way it is in Europe, why should Africa be different?
Those are members of the "Church of Satan" and they are most likely Khazars, not Europeans. In fact, the entire diamond industry and more generally the commidities trading industry in dominated by these cartels. This has been going on for over a century: watch?v=Jm7DTCWzRaw
European or african management,it doesn't matter. The money will end up in europe anyway. Whether by a european business man or the local elite who move the profits to switzerland.
"Never trust thine ENEMY for as IRON RUSTETH so does his WICKEDNESS "
True indeed Ahk!!
Word!
As a namibian, this breaks my heart because we have high youth unemployment😤😭
@@tommyboman7735 why the hate?Have you researched & confirmed that the local people are lazy & not as productive?
How do you have youth unemployment with such a small population and so much resources...
I hope those who work in the diamond companies also get paid well. With the natural resources, one might think the money would trickle down through development and growth of industries. Only a few are benefiting, how sad.
EXACTLY!
BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO OWN AND CONTROL THE LAND, BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS, ETC. IN NAMIBIA!
ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHATSOEVER THAT THERE IS HIGH BLACK YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT WHEN THE LAND IS RICH WITH GOLD, DIAMONDS, ETC.!
MAKES NO SENSE!
IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT OTHERS ARE BENEFITTING FROM THE GOLD, DIAMONDS AND OTHER RESOURCES AND THE BLACK PEOPLE ARE BEING EXPLOITED AND ONLY USED FOR LOW COST LABOR - TO EITHER EXTRACT THE GOLD, DIAMONDS AND OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES AND THEN TO SHOP AT STORES OWNED BY NON-BLACK PEOPLE!
Before I leave this earth,I would love to go to Namibia.
most welcome boss
Really?
Do the Namibian know their Original Culture , their Speaking Tong and their Beautiful African History. Seek and you will Find, so that you don't stay Behind.
We are not falling for this bs give our brothas and sistas back their land and resources namibia is black peoples country not you colonizers
DR KHALID REVENGE your African leaders are the one milking your Country dry. Your African leaders are thieves and God will punish everyone of those African leaders. I am African,Nigerian and our leaders are useless,they are thieves, instead of them to develop African,they are pocketing the money as their own personal piggy bank. African like you are stupid, you can't see how your African leaders are sucking you dry
Your Tribal mindset just cause war and murder. Time to learn how to be a proper homo sapiens and stop being a australopithecus.
Too many negative comments yet what do we black Namibians do for our country? We have manufactured countless overnight millionaires through government tenders but what have they given back to the country? Nothing but buying themselves expensive cars and mansions. Beside complaining and whining, what do we do for our country?
It's the mindset of blacks the world over. They won't put distance between themselves and whites. They feel unfulfilled unless whites are around. Of course you can have social and business intercourse with whites but as a black person you should be in control of the narrative and your emotions. I'm a black octogenarian American. I speak form experience.
Because your politicians are neo-colonialists.
Very true ...#fishrot #diamondrot #tenderot

This country is the most underrated country in Africa. I love this country so much and it has a clear clean sky
Africa is just beautiful, just travel to Uganda and enjoy the pearl of Africa... will be traveling to Namibia and Botswana
Im Namibian and im so proud of this, yes this is where your time in Africa becomes really special,
Namibia, whatever you do don't let the foreigners dominate the diamonds!!!!!!
Something is wrong here. Why it has to be a foreigner to come to Namibia to have the big control of the diamonds?
A Namibian or more Namibian/African companies that supposed to control the diamond supply, marketing and the sale channels.
Namibia with the support of others African governments should work together by developing their own technological knowledge in the value chain of the diamonds... *_Just cutting diamond in Windhoek is not enough!!_* .
Do you not understand what the word TRADE means don't? There are diamonds in other places too. They aren't even rare. If you want your country developed it better invest all the revenue from the diamonds in edication
when the CEO are living in State, they only come once in a year to see if there're still diamond available.Shame,
Do not worry, Germany is doing it together with the Namibian government, 50-50 that's better than the US is doing in other countries
@@johanngiesbrecht6460 what 50-50 are u talking about? Have u seen Namibians benefiting in any major economic of Germany? Now what, Germany came in Namibia, took the land, the cattle and massacred our people. The first Genocide of the 20 years-century took place in Namibia by Germany colonisers. Here we are in 2019 and still Germany are refusing to pay reparation fees to Namibians. You should know that, Never the Germany nor the US should still jerk Africa to this day.

why can't Africans manage their own affairs, Namibia should watch and learn from the other countries around the world, very beautiful county but if you don't deal with your troubles they will leave behind nothing. This are businessmen but Namibia belongs to Namibians, there is no place like home. goodluck
Rome wasn't built in a day. these foreigners have set up this business and manage to run it successfully , when many others were failures. It will have to be up to native Namibians working there to eventually be able to branch out on their own and compete.
Namibia is not colonized, they are independent since 1991, the German-speaking in Namibia are the citizens of the country who live there already 4 generations, the foreigners investing as a example Germany, they make it together with Namibia Government, plus Germany donate to Namibia 12 million Dollers every year, without the German help, Namibia would be much poorer, wutch this 2 Videos czcams.com/video/cyyVuneKWk0/video.html

Simple answer it does not matter who runs the company see what happened in Zimbabwe wheere we trusted our politicians what happened no proceeds from the Marange diamonds went to the development of the country. Remember we crawl before we walk. These guys who are polishing today may be on the board in years to come. Little step at a time but never lose sight that is my moto

I will definitely visit Namibia. I love the fact that they speak English.
Very good move by educating yourselves, creating relationships, networking with other countries and joining the world market and sprouting new companies putting your faces forward for the world to see. Well done! Looking forward to going to Namibia to meet the people and see your land!
Perfectly said ❤❤❤
The great thing about this longest documentary - advert in the history of marketing is that is not too journalistic, you got to hear from people themselves talking , and that's awesome 👌 proud of my country 🇳🇦 well done 🙏
😭😭 I’m not from namibien but watching this!...I cry 😢 so sad watching white peoples still round Africa.
Big wake up call my brother and sister
You can't build your country alone. I see africans all over the place, in Europe, Canada, USA, China or Australia. You need others to partner for growth, just make sure people bring what you may not easily have access to.
In south aftica black people came after the white Dutch, im not sure bout namibia. This white-black nationalism is so prevalent. Yall african equally. ❤️
@omonil i knw a security gaurd in my uni hes frm South Africa , he told me
wow and they call themselves crown of light, my dear African people if u have a dark tunnel that you are living in please believe that these aint the light at the end of ur tunnel....u have fallen in the wrong hands my loved ones...it kills me that i cant save u all.. this is some bullshit, the diamonds are urs ...wake up.
Same old story. Africa's resources being looted by outsiders.
The Africans willingly allow it, so who's to blame? Do the Europeans hold a gun to our heads to give them our resources? NO. Our leaders sell us out! We should blame ourselves for the problems we go through.
Why don't your people exploit the resources too? Who are stopping you from investing and taking advantage of the diamond market? You have only yourselves to blame.
So is this video a lie? Doese he not train these people giving them valuable skills which they can use if they start their own diamond mining, you won't see this in America even if we have college degrees we are closed out from jobs that will enable us to Branch out n create our own business. So tell me brother is this video lie, doese he not help community? Surely u realize no One company can help every person to have work. Skill n crafts doese he not give? They can Branch out n get investors of color n start their own company in parts of Africa where just looting n forced loans are given, no good job given just to dig by hand. This create big opportunity if one sees n understand s where they can carry this to not just look at stay where they r n not grow that a colonized mind who believe they can not do anything more than what they are given, unity is strength , Are they still there today doing same improve the lives n skills of its employees? Are most of employees still African? If the video is true many here are missing the big picture of great opportunities that are open for these people to give to more of our people n come to own their own mining n processing n sales n other parts of Africa. Blacks w much money like in Atlanta, Georgia USA could be possible investors. These whites don't do these things w just their own money they have investors that help them. It's sad to read hopeless thinking of my people 💔 n d Homeland just like in America believe they can not think bigger n just sit waiting for someone to hand them everything, when they are getting the #1 tool skills which can fuel their growth towards there own ownership. If video is true stop looking a gift horse in d mouth, examine the whole of d horse n go n train others seek how can we own our own. Find out what is needed to own your own mining from A to Z. A man w/ out vision for himself n his people is like a dry well. Just saying u will Never see this in America here they tear down everything we build.And will never give such skills to a group of us only one of us if any n they make sure the one they allow in amoungst their thousands to give you miss information or trouble on job so you don't build your skills to a higher degree.
NAMIBIA, need to get; at least 70%; of the profits from their DIAMONDS!!!!!
@Black Minoan 50 % that's good
@Black Minoan for you people yes, but the foreigners will get Bankrupt that way. Americans pay only 5% in Bolivia, stupid Amrika, stupid Bolivia that they signed such deal.
@Black Minoan that deal is over, good for Bolivia
American paid to Bolivia only 5% 95 % for America.
somebody told me the American in one country in Africa the America pay the African Country only 2% the rest 98 % goes to America, I agree that is very wrong, I believe on fair deal, 50/50
They need to learn the industry first. Mining, cut, polish, distribution, jewelry manufacturing.
why cant namibia real citizens invest in there land resources
@David Miles Then the governement can train them from a very young age..That is why a curriculum based education gets the best out of people..There is hope and with technology and resources on the internet,the government can use part of what they get to train and invest in equipement.
the saddest thing about our diamonds it that it does not benefit the vast majority of our citizens

Unless Africans go out to overseas countries to learn these specialist skills, it has to happen this way. The foreigners know the skills and they have the experience. For example, these Israeli men have been teaching the Namibians the skills of the industry. Hopefully, the Namibians will latch on and really learn! Africans need to learn the knowledge and skills as well as understand every industry and then they will be capable of running their own industries.
U DONT NEED SKILLS TO BE AN OWNER THEY CAN EMPLOY ANY SPECIALIST AS LONG AS THEY OWN THEIR RESOURCES, THEY ARE SIMPLY WORKERS.
Africans don't need to go overseas for knowhow, the African schools must be of higher quality to offer such knowhow in Africa
Excuse you, their government has to demand those jobs or skills me transferred inland, otherwise the imperialists were fine with such injustice. And how did myopic people lean cutting instead of just being diggers hence hypocrites like you won't support the natives owing those mines cos you think they are incapable thou a fallacy
@David Miles yet their GDP is higher than the west and just need to give themselves quality education and holding on to their resources instead of imperialists, and you have used the Africans resources to discriminate and kill Africans as well
How did they gain the skills when they don't have diamonds in their own country. Who do you think taught them.
Is this propaganda or what from a multi national to steal its wealth .ill think
Are the nambian people working there rich , well off are they earning big money ,living in mansions nice smart attractive neighbourhoods
Where the hospitals,schools,
I'll research myself
Painful to watch African land taken over by vultures from the rightful owners...
@Desirea Winton Then the rich investors will just find a corrupt warlord to finance with a militia or army to quell dissent and take what they want anyway
All great leaders had a vision and you do have a vision congratulations to you and all loving faces I saw in this video, its gives hope to us that humanity is not over but have just started
Reading the comments here gladdens my heart. Namibians see through this farce. Shout out to your gorgeous dark-skinned oppressed folks. And to those tribes that are off-shoots of the Bantu tribe, Qam Yasharahla!

@@bensonmotlanthe6457 Brother Benson your very right ,however ,I think enough is enough now.
We only need to employ foreigners for just a specified period of time or trainers not letting them to own our resources .We can also make them share holders and later force them to sell their shares to African natives.
More has to be done in education and research in such sophiscated sectors .Let African governments invest more in research and education sectors and more in health and women affairs .
Before we even think of mining such minerals let us 1st research and educate ourselves enough about them.
You are a fool. Diamond alone cannot make a country rich. The African people have little education and no skills. Japan is 120 million people and richer than all 1.3 Billion Africans. Lack of education is the reason. Go to school and invest your money wisely.

Namibia is a great country and really peaceful. People should seriously understand that Namibia is still a young third world country. Obviously soon they will acquire machinery and more knowledge on dealing with their resources.
For those in the comments who are telling namibians on how to deal with the resources and foreign matters, it shows that you really care and you simply want the best for African countries , but I think what you should also is that its easy said than done and takes alot of finance, loyalty , commitment, education and unity to make that happen as a country. Patience is the most needed.
Thank you again for your encouragement
This is a tragedy. The Africans own the land and the resources and all they can talk about is gratitude. When the owner of the diamond mine is richer than The Namibian President, that is a sure sign of corruption and a slow take over of Namibia.
Keep playing your African drums for these foreigners and your leaders until one day you are all homeless in your own country.

I am so disappointed. If our people's aspirations is merely to have a job that you keep until you are 60, then we expect too little from ourselves. From the politicians to the workers , I realized our aspirations and expectations of ourselves are so low. How can the president just be satisfied with the Almod CEO statement of Tate Silas and meme being partners in the organization, 2 people? How can he be satisfied with skills transfers only, where else will our people go and use those skills besides being slaves to help the white men make millions of dollars from our resources, if we are not using these so called investors to leverage a ground for ourselves in the long run ? And the white communication lady, when you teach someone how to fish, where would our black people be able to use those polishing skills ever again? Unless if we Namibians take over ownership of our natural resources of course. But by hearing everyone of the politician speak in here, I am not surprised we have no long-term agenda for ourselves. That we are satisfied giving away our resources away for cheap. I am tired of hearing about jobs these, skills transfers this and jobs this. We gotta have a long-term vision and agenda beyond that dammit! Is out future generations going to eat those goddamit skills? We need a long term-agenda for managing and full control of our own resources as Africans. You can tell the workers are coached and almost brainwashed to be able to say everything positive about this bunch of thieves, and even if they are not, the position they are in makes them inevitable to speak ill of the hand that feeds them. It saddens me that the black Almods workers in the documentary are almost clown-like, shimmeying and cooning etc :( . And look at that white ma's face... straight all throughout and he is clearly set up to impress the president.
Thank you very much my bro for this wonderful documentary I really enjoyed it I time I will testify from today on words I'm going to joint geological group I really interested, once again thank you very much.
Your just exploting our country... Give our diamonds back
Proud of my Namibia land of the brave
Very beautiful
I am proud to be a Namibian
I love to hear that. I love the Blacks and the Whites,
Beav Dina be proud but please get your resources of land and all it's minerals , the waterbodies and the skies. Please fight for them at the moment you are getting crumbs the whites are enjoying
@@johanngiesbrecht6460 and which one are u? Black or white?
@@adventmunga1871 on one side... that is true. So what do u suggest we do? Got a plan in mind?
I’m canadian Can i come to your country
grateful for this, it really moves me as a Namibian youth.
You've got a great country!😇😇😇
GREAT PRESENTATION!!!
God bless Namibia Africa
Amen
Why aren Namibians in charge of all this?
Congratulations Namibia let's go Africa.
Putting Namibia on the Map 🙏🇳🇦
This breaks my heart
THE IDEA OF TECHNOLOGY SHARING is to one day do this on your own without helo from outsiders. this is what really matters when these companies come on the African continent. the moment we can do this on our own, we can do this and invest in our new found skills
Yes please, of course it's a good idea to open the diamond shop in Namibia! I'm surprised it hasn't been done already.

Thanks @@ayodeler39
This is a very positive thing. It’s no small thing to go halfway around the world and invest your life and your wealth in another country. These people have good jobs and have learned new skills. They can develop their own companies and develop their nation.
Like the copper mines, the bauxite, the quartz: it all comes to an end one day. And the buck stops and the white men leave; leaving nothing but grief and emptiness behind. Crown of light indeed. For whom? Namibia's diamonds must be owned by Namibians. Not pale foreigners.
Excellent comment
So eat your precioous rocks then! What have you dark skin donne to the cultural and tecnological developement of the world?
Namibia does own the land..the companies just pay for the rights to mine it
As long as European's are involved in every facet of life in Africa, African's will never be free, always have African leaders selling out to European companies and there government's and the people always suffer as a result, all this video is showing us it's that it is a clean version of European corruption.
Yes,I could have not sad it betta,very moving and emotional
Lesson hear what you are helping us,or we helping each other,let me tell you 2011 I'm I'm in the bank withdrawing 42thousand,next to me I'm with an USA citizen who's not able to withdraw he argue with the tells he says we are here to help your people in his ethopia mind,he was with his girlfriend he got nothing
See forward thinking and lots of progress, nothing wrong with getting help and learning from others and growing, everyone does that! I'm looking into visiting Namibia. Keep making videos.. Block out the negative people and their isolationist views.
Why do we sell them and not transform them into finished products?
I'm a Namibian living in Walvis Bay, and this honestly ladies and Gentlemen is very painful to watch..
With the mineral resources and this small population of ours we supposed to be like Dubai or at least close to Dubai in terms of individual wealth and living status. But instead we live as if we're in Kenya or something, and no offense to the Kenyans
The West depends on Africa’s resources for survival. I’m Zambian btw
Lol Kenya🤣🤣🤣
Hmmm Africans are suffering
Namibians should be living like royalty. That children's facility is pathetic and I bet those white people are laughing all the way to the Swiss Bank!!👄
Great stuff, nice seeing Marco
Wow this vidio is very moving.
You meant to say this is a "documentary" no kidding ? because it's not. It's a corporate film about the diamond industry. Unfortunately the makers of this film doesn't know the difference between documentary and corporate film
Yes, I was also looking for a doc...but I found this....just marketing and mordern slavery
This so far impressive to see that the company is actually where the diamonds are produced and the indigenes are as well trained and made patterns.I applaud the CEO of the Almod Diamond company and the good and welcoming government of the people of Namibians.
Thats a nice dimond company you did a documentery on, good job.
The best I can see that, the trainees had become trainers.
This is the success we all looking.
Good luck 👍 for Namibian 🇳🇦
