In a notable gesture of goodwill, BDMA donated P5,000 to breast cancer activist Betty Mbaembae, a highlight of the day that underscored the association’s commitment to important community causes. Additionally, on-site HIV & AIDS testing was conducted, further demonstrating BDMA’s dedication to promoting health and well-being among its members and the broader community.
The event also welcomed several distinguished guests, including Tabake Kobedi from Diamond Sorters & Valuers, Ame Amey from De Beers Business Intelligence, Bryn Williams from Bryte Insurance, and Gopikumar from Delta Capital, alongside Betty Mbaembae, the breast cancer advocate. Notably, Mrs. Botswana 2024, Oampata Faith Leroy-Mosepidi, was also in attendance, adding to the day’s prestige.
The festivities extended beyond the final whistle, with the local informal sector benefiting from vendors selling food and drinks throughout the day. The celebratory mood continued as members of the diamond cutting industry and spectators enjoyed the event’s conclusion well into the evening.
