Exerpt from Diamonds, Gold and South Africa:

The diamond empire of De Beers is now one of about 600 companies associated with "South Africa Inc." (officially called The Anglo American Corporation of South Africa, 44 Main Street, Johannesburg). Anglo American controls South African gold mines as well as diamond mines, and almost half the capitalization of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange represents companies owned or controlled by Anglo American.
