Jwaneng is a town located in the Southern District of Botswana, but it is not part of this, being a separate district, with its own Town Council.[2]
History[edit]
The town was formed around the Jwaneng diamond mine, considered the richest in the world in terms of its content of gem-quality diamonds. At its inception it was a 'closed town', meaning that in order to live there permission was needed from the owners of the mine, Debswana.
In 2015, Jwaneng had 13,162 residents. It was identified as the second richest village in Botswana, with a poverty rate of less than 3%.[3]
Transportation[edit]
The town and the mine are served by the Jwaneng Airport.
Sport[edit]
As of 2023, Jwaneng Galaxy F.C. are the reigning champions of the Botswana Premier League.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
