Résumé
Cet article examine la loi coutumière et indique ses relations avec l'institution de la chefferie au Botswana de la période coloniale à la période postcoloniale. Il s'accorde avec la thèse répandue, comme dans beaucoup d'autre pays africaines, où la chefferie a été amoindrie durant la période coloniale, mais ou les chefs ont pu survivre et jouer un rôle important dans les sociétés africaines en voie d'évolution. Au Botswana, les lois coutumières reconnues dans les institutions de la chefferie traditionnelle, notamment dans les règles de su à la chefferie de surmonter les obstacles entre les chefs et pression de régime colonial sur les chefs traditionnels a s certaines chefs, mais non pas l'institution. Depuis 1966, le g démocratique, postcolonial du Botswana a institué des lois pouvoirs des chefs considérablement, mais l'institution de la les chefs ont eu à exercer un pouvoir politique à leur avant cause du dynamisme de la loi coutumière, les chefs jouent u les plans socio-économique, politique et administratif au Botswana.
