A boy playing in the fields got stung by what some of my relatives would call an ‘ayela-yela’; a stinging plant. He ran to his mother crying. She said ‘son, it is because you only touched it slightly. The next time you touch it, grasp it tightly and it will not harm you’. This little story has a political moral, and I hereby dedicate it to all men and women publicly and privately nursing presidential ambitions, particularly for 2022.
Be bold in your intention ? do not timidly try to touch the presidency, grasp it! No one honours the faint-hearted. Especially, not the electorate.
