David is currently in the Botswana capital Gaborone to deliver the final stage of a preparation programme for the ASIS PSP (Physical Security Professional) certification award, the culmination of a year of distance learning study.
There are nine candidates attending the programme, many of whom are employed on security management duties at the world’s largest diamond mine by value, Jwaneng Mine, which is operated as a joint venture by De Beers and the Botswana government.
With efficient security in place, it is predicted that diamond mining will continue at the mine for at least the next 20 years!
