Migrants Disrupt Chadibe Village Peace

The recent migration of city dwellers into Chadibe, which is approximately 25km northwest of the City of Francistown, has got the 64-year-old headman troubled. He says he feels unsettled by the fact that the crime rate in the village is rising because of migration.

Being among the masses that have recently moved into the area, I decided to visit Chadibe Customary Court last Wednesday morning. It was clear that the village leaders are perturbed by the'invasion'. Chief Nyambe, who is also customary court president, had called a meeting with all the six headmen from the six wards to discuss village matters.  As I introduced myself, I was humbled at the warm welcome I received from the village leaders. Chief Nyambe introduced them to me as Mmoloki Kajata of Basimane ward, Seeletso Jeremani of Bombonda ward, Samson Maramane of Bototela ward, Dikatso Raditsebe of Jojo-Masomo ward, Amos Nkomo of Akuje ward and Winner Namakando of Dikgato ward.
