Hundreds of South Africans dig for ‘diamonds’ – BBC News
Hundreds of people have descended on a small village in Kwa-Zulu Natal, digging for ‘diamonds’.
This comes after a man herding cattle discovered what he thought were diamonds more than week ago. His discovery has prompted people from other provinces to make the trek to join in the search. Some people have found what they believe are precious stones.
Police are also at the scene but appear to be struggling to stop people from digging. The provincial government has described this activity as illegal mining.

The Houthis in Yemen have attacked the presidential palace in the port city of Aden – the seat of the internationally-recognised government.
Meanwhile, President Masoud Pezeshkian has told Iranians that the country is facing its most intense blockade since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and has accused the US of seeking to provoke public protests.
The Saudi-led military coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthis says it has intercepted a missile in the Medina region. The Houthis have threatened more attacks on Saudi Arabia but have denied carrying out this one.
Finally, according to reports, the US is considering using its biggest non-nuclear bomb against Iran if President Donald Trump should decide to renew combat in the war that has hit a deadlock.

Heavy fighting has been taking place in Yemen, as pro-government forces take on the country’s Houthi rebels, whose recent attacks on neighbouring Saudi Arabia have seized the world’s attention.
Yemen’s long civil war has become impossible to ignore, as the latest attacks by the Houthis, who are funded by Iran, play into the wider conflicts in the Middle East.
The Houthis took control of Yemen’s capital in 2014, ousting the country’s internationally-recognised government. A year later a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states intervened, trying to dislodge the Houthis. Despite years of devastating air strikes, that hasn’t worked.
Now Yemen’s Houthi fighters – already a threat to global shipping with attacks in the Red Sea – are an increasing threat to Saudi Arabia. And they provide leverage for their backers in Iran, Saudi’s regional rival.
The BBC has been given rare access to Yemen and the latest desert battlefields.

Australian MP Helen Haines has been taken to hospital with “critical injuries” after she was hit by a car near her regional office in Wangaratta, Victoria, police have said.
“This wasn’t an accident – there was a deliberate act, it would appear,” said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Police have said they’re investigating whether it was “intentional” and a 43-year-old man, from nearby Tarrawingee, was arrested at the scene by a passer-by.

How Can We Find Diamonds?
@alinurmiah6038
December 29, 2023 at 4:40 am
Diamonds should be same prices in South Africa that are sold in Europe because they are sold in fortune in the western countries and the western world is using African diamonds as a source of cheating currency and the African government should stop selling diamonds to the western countries because they are not paying the fair prices

If what their doing is illegal, it's sad knowing most of these people might face possible prosecution by their government for simply possessing the stones, If they're real, I hope they have ways to safely exchange them for everything they need and deserve.

In a way I hope that it is diamonds but on the other hand, I hope it’s not. If it’s diamonds it gives the West more opportunities to rape the land and take over with ‘growth fund loans’.
