Diidhi was born in Shakawe, Botswana in 1968. She is a single mother, with three sons and a daughter.

Diidhi was originally a farmer, growing maize, millet, peanuts and pumpkin. Water is very precious in Botswana, so plants have to rely entirely on rainfall. The area surrounding Etsha is drought prone, making farming a laborious source of food and an unreliable means of subsistence. Ploughing was bearable though tiresome when cattle could be used to plough. As a result of an epidemic lung disease in 1996, all the cattle in that area were killed; thus ploughing is now done by hand using hoes.


Diidhi has decided that weaving full-time is more rewarding than farming, and is now a member of the Etsha Weavers Group.

Diidhi's favourite designs are variations on the traditional sethunya (flower) and peolwane (swallow) designs.
