Young HDSA diamond beneficiators doing well, says De Beers

The model launched last year by De Beers for the development of young historically disadvantaged South Africans (HDSAs) as diamond beneficiators is proving highly successful, De Beers Senior VP Sightholder Sales South Africa Mpumi Zikalala said on Tuesday. Speaking to Mining Weekly Online on the sidelines of the eighth Oppenheimer De Beers Group Research Conference at the iconic company’s headquarters in Ormonde, Zikalala said the young HDSAs forming part of the programme had “amazed” the organisation with their good performance.
