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.[Laws of Botswana], [Ministry of Local Government]
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.
