The southern African nation reportedly requested r $1.2bn in emergency credit from SA but was turned down. “As such, media reports that are currently circulating about the line of credit worth $600m that the government of Botswana has committed itself to extend to the Republic of Zimbabwe are unfounded," Morupisi said.The two countries have elevated ties to the high-level binational commission following years of tense relations under former president Robert Mugabe who clashed with former head Ian Khama.

“In Zimbabwe, yes we have diamonds, but we do not really have a diamond policy. We are now crafting the policy, discussing with Botswana, Namibia and Angola to assist us in formulating a diamond policy for Zimbabwe.”
