how in the world did Debeer get a monopoly on the diamond mines in Africa ail so, do they give back to the poo

Answer 1

it started in kimberly in the 1800's. they (the oppenheimers) muscled their way into old mr debeers' business, using gangsters and extortion, some say murder, and now hundreds of years later, they still run the show.

strangely enough, when the time came top make laws regarding the diamond trade, debeers was the only consultant approached by the then reigning authorities, and the laws were passed to directly enrich them (debeers).

the oppenheimer family (which owns debeers) is considered by forbes magazine to be one the most influential families on earth, and their influence is felt in international finance, gold and platinum mining, construction and naturally diamonds.

the family are reported to own or influence 20% of South Africa's wealth, and their offshore assets are estimated to be worth in excess of 20 billion dollars (forbes).

the oppenheimers were banned from america at one stage because of their monopoly on the diamond market.

it is a sad but true fact that people like the oppenheimers can literally bring down the entire economy of a country like south africa, should they close their businesses, because their buinesses contribute more than 12% to annual GDP of south africa.
