Uhambo oluhambela eRiphabhuliki yaseNingizimu Afrika , qiniseka ukuthi uvakashela indawo efana neDayimani leMayini ye-Callinen. Phela, leli lizwe liyaziwa njengelinye lama-exported diamond amakhulu, ngakho-ke thatha ithuba lokufunda zonke izici nomlando walokhu kudoba.
Imayini ekhulunywe ngenhla isendaweni edolobheni elifanayo, elakhiwe nxazonke emayini yokuqala yokukhishwa kwamatshe ayigugu. Namuhla, idolobha linamanani amaningi kakhulu, angaphezu kweminyaka eyikhulu ubudala!
Umlando wendalo
Namuhla, le migodi imayini edume kakhulu yedayimani, imayini eyenziwa ngokuhambisana nezidingo zemvelo. Ubhekene nento yenkampani uDe Beers.
Kodwa manje, futhi ngonyaka wesisekelo sawo (1903), umnikazi wayo nguThomas Kallinen, ngemuva kwalokho lowo mgodi owaqanjwa ngokuthi igama, bese kuthiwa umuzi. Ngendlela, kukhona ubufakazi bokuthi ukumbiwa kwezimayini kulezi zindawo kwenziwa ngaphambi kokuthi i-mine itholakale ngokomthetho.
Amatshe ayingqayizivele
Imayini nayo idumile ngoba amatshe ayingqayizivele agxiliwe kulo, ehlaba umxhwele - lezi zingenakulinganiswa ngobuhle bedayimani eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Intengo yabo iqala kusuka ezinkulungwaneni ezimbalwa, ngisho namashumi ezinkulungwane zamaRandi. Futhi akuwona amatshe amakhulu kunawo wonke!
Uma sikhuluma ngenzuzo enkulu kunamatshe athile, itholwe ngo-2009 futhi idlule izigidi ezingu-9 zamaRandi ayizinkulungwane ezingu-500. Idayimane yayithengiswa eS aucby's edumile emhlabeni wonke.
Ngaphambi kwalokhu, irekhodi laligcinwe ngetshe, ubukhulu balo lidlula ama-carats angu-100 - lithengiswa endalini kaChristie, eyayibanjelwe eHong Kong, okungaphezu kwamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-6.
Umnikazi werekhodi, ukhishwe kulo mgodi - idayimani, ubukhulu bezimoto ezingu-3106. Kubizwa ngokusemthethweni njengeyona enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Kungakanani okungalinganiselwa ukuthi akukaziwa:
- Okokuqala, kungumcebo kazwelonke waseNingizimu Afrika;
- okwesibili, kuhlolwa kobuchwepheshe, okuyinto enquma inani lentengo lelitje eliyigugu!
Okwamanje, ingu-120 million carats isusiwe emathunjini, kodwa lokhu akuyona umkhawulo noma! Ngokusho kochwepheshe, abahlolisise izibhamu zangaphakathi kanye nokudlula kwezimayini, kanye nezinkunkuma ezikhishiwe, imithombo yamayini yanamuhla idlula izigidigidi ezingu-200 zemoto!
Amahholo wokubukisa abathandi be-diamond
Ukuhambela eKallinen kuyathandeka ngoba ungabona ukuthi izindlu nezindlu zokuqala zamehlo zibukeka kanjani, lezi zimayini zasebenza emayini - okuningi ngalokhu kamuva.
Kukhona nemyuziyamu emahholo ombukiso lapho umlando ophelele wenkimbinkimbi uhanjiswa khona. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi emahholo omnyuziyamu awukwazi ukuwahlonipha amadayimane kuphela, kodwa futhi uyabathengisa, futhi kulabo abafisa ukuba uhlele ukuhamba emayini.
Yini enye engayibona?
Uma ufika e-Callinen, futhi ngemva kokuthola isikhathi sokuvakashela amaminithi namahholo wokubukisa, nikezele ukuvakashela ezinye izindawo ezikhangayo edolobheni.
Ngokuyinhloko, njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, izindlu zokuqala zamehlo zifanelwe ukunakekelwa. Isibonelo, isithakazelo sizobangwa yi-McHardy-house-museum, njengoba kuthiwa lapha, kwakuyiyakhiwo eyayiyinto yokuqala yokuhlala eyakhiwe eceleni kwediphozi yamatshe ayigugu.
Enye into - amathuna iziboshwa zempi zase-Italy, ezisezindaweni zangaphambili ekamu lamasosha empi yase-Italy. Ikamu laqalwa ngo-1941 futhi kwafakwa iziboshwa zempi kuwo, ezalwa emazweni aseNyakatho Afrika phakathi neMpi Yezwe Yesibili. Ekuqaleni, ikamu yayenzelwe abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu. Namuhla, iminyuziyamu eyinikezelwe kuleso sikhathi esabekayo yasungulwa lapha, ngoba izimo zokuboshwa kwakungukuthi, ukuyibeka ngomoya omnene, kude nokuhle.
Ungafika kanjani?
Imayini iseduze kakhulu (amakhilomitha angu-40) ukusuka enhloko-dolobha yaseNingizimu Afrika iRiphabhlikhi yasePitoli futhi amakhilomitha amathathu ukusuka endaweni enkulu ebizwa ngokuthi iKimberley.
Kukhona kokubili izithuthi zomphakathi nezokubuka indawo. Isibonelo, izithuthi zomphakathi zingafinyelelwa kuqala ku-Kimberley, bese zifika emayini.
Ngendlela, uhambo oluhleliwe luhlelekile, kodwa izindleko zalo zizoba ngamadola angama-US US (865 amaRandi aseNingizimu Afrika) kubantu abadala ababili.
