Chadibe, Borolong boundary dispute gathers steam

The applicants in the matter are Chadibe headman, Aaron Boy Nyambe and 954 Chadibe residents with the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development (MLGRD), represented by the Attorney General (AG) as the respondent. In his notice of motion, Nyambe prayed with the court to enter judgement in his favour by declaring that the common boundary between Chadibe and Borolong villages is Tlhalogang River. Nyambe also prayed for Shongochena ward to be given its rightful name of  'Dikgatho'.

“Chadibe is situated to the west of Borolong. Between the two villages runs Tlhalogang river. In 1992, Chief Lebati (Bangwato Tribal Authority) decreed that Chadibe lies between Tlhalogang river to the north, and Razhoba river to the south and at the confluence of Shashe and Tlhalogang rivers,” he said.
