Angola Vows to ‘Work Hard in the Mines’ on 50th Independence Day | APT

A sparkling celebration met a bold message in Luanda as President João Lourenço marked Angola’s 50th Independence Day with a pledge that the nation will “work hard in the mines” to build its future.

Speaking before a massive crowd at the National Stadium, Lourenço said Angola’s next chapter would be driven by the country’s rich natural resources — particularly diamonds — and the dedication of its people. His remarks came as both Angola and Botswana signal growing interest in acquiring stakes in De Beers, the world’s largest diamond producer.

“Fifty years of independence have brought us pride and perseverance,” Lourenço declared. “Now, we look to the earth beneath our feet — to the mines — where the strength of our economy and our people will shine brightest.”
