20.03.2003
Survival has recently been labelled a 'terrorist' organisation by a senior figure in Debswana, De Beers's Botswana subsidiary. In a BBC interview Dr Akolang Tombale, who is both permanent secretary in Botswana's Ministry of Mineral Resources and Water Affairs, and deputy Chairman of Debswana, accused Survival of being a 'terrorist organisation', and of doctoring the government's own mineral concession maps.
