General Sechele�s principles of war

In the days of the Bakwena Great King that I so much love to write about, there were no military schools even though wars were fought. What existed were battlefields and war zones. And they came so often that every soldier had enough practice at the art of war.

Every nation has their heroes and so do we in General Sechele, King of Bakwena and our hero in nation building. Having studied military science, I found Sechele to have been a genius at the art of war. How I wished he had penned his strategies for latter generations to see. I am made up my mind to study the life and work of this military general and I realise there is a lot to put my hands on before I can claim to know how he played in this art.

I am told he was so intelligent that he studied the alphabet just in one day. I have not heard of anything that Sechele wrote in his life time except the inscription he made behind the pulpit in the church. How I wish he had written something about his strategies for war.
