At least 20 employees of De Beers died in a Road accident in South Africa while traveling on a bus to the Venetia diamond mine. The cause of the accident has not yet been determined. The accident occurred near the town of Musina, about 25 km from the mine. South Africa has a well-developed road network but is known for its poor road safety record. The Venetia mine, operated by De Beers, represents 40% of South Africa's annual diamond production and has over 4,300 employees. The mine recently transitioned from open pit mining to an underground mining project.
