About this episode

An industry that is truly a diamond in the rough. Africa may be rich in precious stones, but its jewellery industry has struggled to compete with Asian and European companies.

Host: Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja on Twitter) Guests: Emanuela Gregorio, coordinator of Fashionomics Africa and economist at the African Development Bank; Margaux Rusita, founder of Margaux Wong.
