The Bamangwato Concessions refer to a series of mining rights and land agreements in the territory of the Bamangwato people, a group within the larger Batswana ethnic community in Botswana. These concessions were primarily established in the early 20th century, allowing for the exploration and extraction of minerals, particularly diamonds and copper. The concessions played a significant role in the economic development of the region, attracting foreign investment and leading to the establishment of mining operations. The agreements also sparked discussions about land rights and the impact of mining on local communities, highlighting the balance between economic growth and cultural preservation.
