DTC South Africa is now fully operational, and is based in Kimberley, with an industry relations office in Johannesburg.
The company sorts and values about 13 million carats per annum of rough diamonds produced by De Beers Consolidated Mines and is the DTC’s sales division in South Africa.
The company is also responsible for the delivery of beneficiation activities in South Africa, working in partnership with Government & the diamond industry.
The decision to locate the company’s headquarters in Kimberley was made to assist with regeneration efforts in the Northern Cape Province, in order to support the improvement of local skills and boost employment in the region.
The Northern Cape location, therefore, enables DTC South Africa to connect with local communities and increase employment prospects for people in the Province.
This generation of employment opportunities in the Northern Cape helps to promote the Government objective of growing the downstream diamond industry.
