Read it:

Botswana is Africa's model country: diamonds shared with De Beers, elections held on time, the continent's cleanest reputation. This book goes behind the reputation, into the land scandals that founded its anti-corruption agency, a diamond chief who died before his trial, an intelligence service on whose request a quarter of a billion pula left the national fuel fund in weeks, a public servants' pension fund that lost nearly half a billion, and a prosecution that swore a hundred billion pula had been stolen from the central bank, in accounts the High Court found never existed. Covers Isaac Kgosi and the Directorate of Intelligence and Security, Bakang Seretse and Kgori Capital, Carter Morupisi and the Botswana Public Officers Pension Fund, Louis Nchindo and Debswana, and Ian Khama and Mokgweetsi Masisi.
