What's on Mthoko's mind?

The concept of a king or chief, I believe, is as old as the concept of leadership & so, perhaps, is older than humanity itself seeing as many animal species have leaders. As the human population grew, empires began to form &, thus, emperors. The king (or emperor) was a man who sat around the fire to discuss the land & settle disputes with his advisors (early parliament & government) in antiquity. The king led his soldiers into battle as the monarch of his nation. The king entrusted certain people to ensure the tribe has water & crops, he would gather the best hunters to hunt for meat if there were no domesticated livestock, these were early ministers of agriculture & water security. The king would choose certain men to lead certain regiments (his commanders & generals). The role of a king was very hands on & advanced unlike the largely ceremonial figures we seem to have today.  If the king grew distant from his people, the people would get rid of him...

The Military's Head I think the military's chief commander (one who is not the country's head) is one of the more complex positions to box in developing countries. You could argue that the military's chief commander holds the most might in the land. When the military's chief commander is not the land's head (president/king/emperor/prime minister), the position is difficult to control because it is one coup away from being the land's head (NB: in developing countries) & unfortunately a land usually only has one army. Developed nations don't have the problem of military coups because most people are satisfied with how things are in the land & their military is often paid well.  It is important for the land's head to either be the military's head or for the land's head to be on good terms with the military's head. In some lands, you'll find that the land's head makes the military's chief commander their brother or in olde...

Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. In an age where monarchy is seen as an archaic & outdated form of government, I'm glad to have found on the internet, advocates for the original form of national governance that all politics, probably, stems from. Of course, under absolute monarchy we find a tyrant could "rule with an iron fist"  which is why I prefer a constitutional monarchy , where the monarch could be subject to the laws of the land & people have some democratic input in electing members of parliament & when parliament sees fit - to delegate some choices on the land's future to the masses. I believe a monarch should be present in every major national event in a land from sport events, entertainment & cultural events to his main role among the lawmakers in parliament & leader of the land's military. A monarch is a symbol of the land &, I think, does offer more long-term consistency in the land's political sc...
