Chadibe lies 25 kilometres southwest of Francistown on the outskirts of Borolong village. The village vegetation is mainly composed of shrubs, acacia trees and a few clusters of grass - leading to a parched area that is easily affected by massive winds. The village is mainly attached to Borolong and newcomers quickly mistake it for the latter although it is supposed to be separate from it. Speaking to Mmegi Kgosi Aaron Boy Nyambe of Chadibe said that his village is growing with many residents attracted to it every year.
"In Chadibe we have few development projects that include the Kgotla, one primary school and clinic, few teachers' houses, a few shops, electricity and water," he said. Furthermore he said that the other thing that worries the residents of Chadibe is the gravel road that has stayed for such a long time without maintenance and improvement. "For months we have waited to have the road graded since we were told that there was no money to have the road tarred but that does not mean the gravel road has to stay unkempt like it is now. Cars are getting damaged," Nyambe said. He said that they were told that the economy has increased by 9.6 percent and that has given him hope that development might come to his village. Kgosi Seeletso Jeremane said that not only promises of having the road tarred have come to nought but also of having drainage pipes installed in the village.
"Destitute people were promised houses that were supposed to have been built by now but the promise has come to nothing. Since there is no money, at least the gravel road should have been graded," said Jeremane.Irene Kologwe (35), a resident of Chadibe said they are not happy about lack of development in the village."The road has so many potholes and for those with cars it becomes so hard for them to use the road because of the dust that accumulates when they hit the gravel. This has raised concern for both motorists and pedestrians," she said.
