How is 25% cheaper "give-away" price? Especially on something as expensive as diamonds.

Chaim Even-Zohar is talking bull. This is the identical laundry method that SA used during sanctions and through the identical laundromat. These diamonds are sold to India at exactly the same prices as diamonds from anywhere else and a 'small commission' is paid to a Zimbabwean politician. Then there are the diamonds that keep going 'missing'. You have to be somewhat careless to misplace R200 mil worth of diamonds. Not the type of thing you forget where you put them.
