FIRST TIME IN AFRICA? READ THIS...

(my own pic please dont copy)
so you have raised up your capital or got some one to trust you and go purchase rough diamonds for him?good!great!
read this closly..africa is not a usual place to be every single thing is crazy, you either fall inlove either you hate it to death it depend your experience on the ground.
remmeber a few guiding rules:
every one look at you like a walking ATM machine it dosen't matter your color,religion or anything else they can tell by the way you walk the way to talk they just know you are not from there.
you have to spend money to get what you want this is the rule in africa "give me money i will bring you what you need.."
most important thing is you need to know who to hand over your money to get what you need.
now remmeber every one over there steal from you some of them big some of them small,you need to find the person that steal from you small money but bring the resaults.
you found that person?great.
fly over without a previous opinion fly down open minded, NO MANIFESTS,NO CONTRACTS,NO BROKERS FROM OVERSEAS SETTING YOU UP WITH A SELLER.
why do you want to obligate your self to a specific person? in most cases does contracts\manifests\overseas brokers are detached from reality.
you stay for short period of time and the capital is not so big to make your own license? not good but you need to find a foriegn license holder which can guide you and export on behalf of you.
listen to his advises he knows better than you no matter how much professional you think you are.
most cases you will have to hide your self behave secretly never say you are a turist no one buy that story.
stay away from "sellers"driving big expensive cars the real ones hide them selfs and hide the fact they have money.
stroll around look for offices most offices in africa have signboards go inside dont be afriad, be afriad when you see a single sign board in a big area most diamond people concentrated in one area and all of them have their offices there.
if it is far away from that area RUN MY GOD RUN check ask questions. it is better for you to give a local guy 100 dollars let him spend your time over there with you and keep you safe instead of walking around by your own.
when police officers approach you for any reason remmeber how i started you are an ATM MACHINE the only question you need to ask is how much and negotiate.
most countries you are not allowed to carry diamond equipmnet with you.
you pratically doing something that is not legal but it is a grey area because evantually you pay the tax by exporting legally.

i hope i helped some of you good luck and keep following the next post :-)

my name is not so important, but the things i have been through are. i am a young succsessful diamond dealer and manufacture mostly specialized in rough diamond and i am here to share my weekly experience and past experience in the rough diamond business and the diamond business in general. i know that your eyes now are wide open and you want to eat each one of the lyrics i have wrote and to take something from my knowledge and apply it in your own life because the diamond business is prestigious, but my good friends let me tell you it is not easy and i will be not mistaking if i would say all-most impossible. the diamond business is build from big cartels such as "de-beers" and "alrosa" "riotinto" and more,besides this cartel's most of the people who work in this business are family generations who pass the knowledge and job recruitment by close family and do not like people from outside to step in.  to step in you need to be motivated y

Hi there to everyone, it's been a long time since i wrote, i was pretty dissconected from the western world. yes yes i have been purchasing rough diamonds in Africa. well let me tell you Africa is a crazy place and scarry for most of business men's/womens specialy in the diamond business and gold. yeah yeah i know your follow up question, why? a lot of foriegn brokers think that diamond and gold buyers not willing to fly to africa, they are absolutly wrong! we fly all the time sometimes even 2 times in a month. so why is your rough diamond buyer don't fly to africa by your recomendation in regards to a seller? because you don't know local prices you dont know local laws and you dont know how to minimize the risks! should i continue on what you don't know? i think it's enough. to get a buyer fly to africa for your seller you need to make asolid ground and establish good base from him to fly. how you ask me? fly first by your self ask the l
