“The intention is not to sell only in Antwerp, the next sale will be in Dubai and we intend to go to Dubai in March,” Mines Minister Walter Chidakwa told reporters in the capital, Harare, on Tuesday. “Shanghai will be next.”

An auction of 958,000 carats of Marange diamonds mined by companies in joint-ventures will end in Amsterdam this week, said Chidakwa.
