Cape Town – MK Party (MKP) MP Mzwanele Manyi has praised party leader Jacob Zuma, calling him a master strategist with a keen ability to plan several moves ahead, similar to a chess player.
Manyi, who joined Zuma’s MKP in August after leaving the EFF, has consistently expressed his confidence in Zuma’s leadership.
In a post on X over the weekend, he said that calmness, strategic thinking, and understanding the opponent’s moves are crucial in leadership, drawing parallels to chess.
“Chess is game of thinkers. Calmness is key, thinking is central, seeing the bigger picture is fundamental, and understanding the moves of your opponent is the main ingredient,” said Manyi.
Chess is game of THINKERS.
Calmnes is the key.
THINKING is central.
Seeing the bigger picture is fundamental.
Understanding the moves of your opponent is the main ingredient.
You can’t play chess if you are permanently angry, emotional and impulsive.
