Why is it called De Beers?
1 Answer
Why it is called De Beers owes to the history of the mining and jewelry company. De Beers Mining Company was established in the 1880s by British businessman Cecil Rhodes. Initially, Rhodes provided water pumping systems to miners in South Africa before he began to purchase mines. One of the mines that Rhodes bought was on the site of a farm previously owned by brothers Diederik Arnoldus de Beer and Johannes Nicolaas de Beer.
