Memoirs of My Time at De Beers
Over a year ago, I started working on my memoirs and life’s journey leading to the thirteen years that I spent in the mining industry at Anglo American Corporation and De Beers in Botswana.
My book is an insider’s view of the industry, a story of the business of politics and the politics of business, seen through the relationship between Botswana and De Beers. I offer a candid, measured view of the tension between big business and party politics. It is also a story of my personal journey, my race and my gender and the challenge of representing a multinational company in my homeland.

Botswana’s History of Diamond Mining
I am writing an annotation of Botswana’s History of Diamond Mining. In the course of doing research for my memoirs, thanks to the records of De Beers in Botswana, I unearthed a great deal of historical information that I cannot possibly all use in my memoirs. So, I decided to use that material to write a book on the history of diamond mining in Botswana, a factual narrative which will rivet historians, scholars and industry watchdogs.
