...from Africa, and dump it in the canal?
shareActually Mrs. Whistler, the old woman in South Africa, was the person who smuggled the diamonds from Africa to Amsterdam. Once she did, the assassins eliminated her and dumped her body into the canal in their continuing effort to eliminate all traces smuggling operation giving this last shipment was all the diamonds needed to complete the operation with the satellite.
If you listen carefully, Mrs. Whistler actually says 'I shall have to bring back some pictures of the canals for the children'. To the casual viewer it sounds like 'You shall have to bring back some pictures of the canals for the children', but it's not.
This is further confused by the following scene cutting back to the London where the stuffy English type says 'Several recent murders in South Africa have complicated matters.'

Even if she hadn't been going there I have a feeling Wint and Kidd would have hauled her ass to Amsterdam and dumped her in a canal just because she showed interest in them. They're over-theatrical a-holes like that.

She came to Amsterdam to give the diamonds to Tiffany, Wint and Kidd just followed her there much like how they followed Tiffany and Bond/Franks to Las Vegas
