In theory the chief is absolute and quite despotic; in practice his authority is limited, and he cannot, without occasionally putting refractory headmen to death, force his subordinates to do his will. Except the small rapids by Mparira island, near the mouth of the Chobe, the rest of the way to Sesheke by water is smooth.
