A political organisation should not be likened to a soccer team where there are winners or looser. Nor should it be likened to a chess game where there is checkmate most of the time to this or that member. Worse, it should not be a game of athletics where the fastest runner gets an award. On the contrary, an organisation is a collective property of the collective people. It governs this or that membership, has its principles, rules and regulations, codes of conduct. It has as its own, a court of abitration and mediation, not a court outside itself; but only and only inside itself. At a point where its members become competitors, then the organisation is exposed, this time in a more reverse way: rather than a competitor chess player being exposed because the king is exposed, the organisation is a King which we must protect from external enemies. In this sense it seems that the King is our political organisation. We, as members are knights, pawns, queens of the King (organisation), in whose defence we stand. Thus we are and should not be competitors; but we must protect us from the externally, because protecting the king is protecting ourselves against external attack. I have used the analogy of chess now to our advantage rather than our disadvantage. Izwe lethu!
