Is The Diamond Era Coming To An End? - Episode #149

from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media

In Today's Show:  Botswana is staring down a future where diamonds no longer pay the bills, as prices slide, stockpiles swell, and lab-grown stones eat into demand. Back home, South Africa’s National Health Insurance heads toward a drawn-out court fight, with government calling for talks while critics argue the problem is structural, not negotiable. Then there’s the JSE: record highs on the charts, but a shrinking pool of listed companies underneath - forcing a quiet rewrite of the rulebook. Plus, a famous diamond heist that never was, and a simple question with an outsized answer.More From Us:⁠Whatsapp Channel⁠ ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠
