So Botswana was taken over by the British from Germany after WW1 and administered by South Africa (under a similar apartheid reign). Botswana peacefully gained independence in 1966 (with a descendant of one of the more powerful chiefs/kings being forefront in the movement and becoming the first president.)
About 6 months after independence and sovereignty within the British Commonwealth was granted, huge diamond deposits were discovered in parts of the country.
Instead of exacerbating wealth gaps through nepotism and privatization of these, the diamonds were kept under government authority.
The revenue from these diamonds was invested in infrastructure and education to build a brighter future for the people of Botswana.
This is all from a chapter in "Whatever you do, don't run" which is mostly in Botswana.
