Location in the Southern District of Botswana

Jwaneng is a town located in the Southern District of Botswana, but it is not part of this, being a separate district, with its own Town Council. The town was formed around the Jwaneng diamond mine that is considered the richest in the world in terms of its content of gem-quality diamonds. At its inception it was a 'closed town', meaning that in order to live there permission was needed from the owners of the mine, Debswana. The town and the mine are served by the Jwaneng Airport.
