This has Blood Diamond 2 written all over it. In fact I’m going to tweet DiCaprio about this just as soon as I finish writing this piece. Don’t you want to hear more of Danny Archer’s bru’s and boets too? Either way, this is a big diamond we are talking about.

Little is known about the mysterious diamond itself other than the fact that it weighs in at a reported whopping 143.66 carats. I’ve had a good dig around to try and find out more about its origins but to no avail.

The theft is rumoured to have taken place in Hopetown in 2008 and the diamond has then since been recovered in America. Dennis Kerrebroeck, a 32 year old Canadian, was arrested in Sandton last Sunday in connection with the crime.

You lekker my bru?

Please re-appreciate the memorable scene in which Danny has his nervous exchange in the aeroplane hangar with the infamous, Commander Zero:

Commander Zero: You get something for me?

Danny Archer: And yourself get something for me, huh?

Commander Zero: You bring the plane come first.

Danny Archer: Are you craze? You get to pay me first for them.

[Commander Zero hands Danny a small bag of diamonds, Danny checks its content]

Danny Archer: This no fine, huh? This no fine.

Commander Zero: This no more you get!

Danny Archer: Then your boys then can use one ol’ rotten AK them against them government troops and their new weapons them, huh?

Commander Zero: Maybe I could just kill you and take away what you bring back!

Danny Archer: Then you get one more dead body instead of aeroplane way full with grenade launchers. So I think I go to them government then, huh? Them government, at least them go pay me, huh?

Commander Zero: Wait, wait. Wait, my friend. This is the thing you want? Here.

[Commander Zero pours diamonds from a can in Danny’s hands]

Commander Zero: So many I not know what do with them all. – Hey, Archer, next time, you bring satellite TV, eh? I wanna see Baywatch.

Danny Archer: Ja. Ja, ja.

With all the good South African movies being produced lately, hopefully the plot does thicken into a flick or at least a documentary for this one.
