De Beers Consolidated Mines has begun consultation with labour unions about possible retrenchments, the world’s largest diamond miner said on Friday.
Bridget Oppenheimer, the mother of De Beers chairperson Nicky Oppenheimer, was held up at knifepoint and robbed in her Durban home on Wednesday night.
South Africa’s unit of the world’s top diamond producer De Beers said on Monday it expects to produce 14,7-million carats in 2007, and saw a decline in output of 2-million carats in 2008. ”Very soon we will level at 12-million carats into the future,” said David Noko, managing director of De Beers Consolidated Mines.
