When the organisation or any company that has a huge number of people and members who dodged education, many wrong understandings and intepretations abound. A lot of talk on unity makes it to lose meaning especially when those who speak about it cannot attach the appropriate meaning to what they purport to be saying.
The unity that they speak about on daily basis seem to mean unity on their terms. Why does it mean a different thing when other people does not appear on what is commonly known as slate. A slate simply defined means a group of people put together to promote what they belive to be a good course. It is a team that sought to pull together in a particular direction.
Taking the ANC as an example, unity cannot be promoted by people with extremely divergent views. To believe that so and so can discourage the slate politics is to be extremely disigeneous because even if the person is alone the minute he or she speakes of bringing others together that becomes a slate.
The absence of a slate is when an individual shares her or his intention with nobody and it stays that way forever. So the question is how do we do away with slate politics? The answer to this question is that people should become single tenis players where an individual struggles with the tenis ball alone. Although even in this situation the avoidance of the slate is only minimised. Once there is an existence of two or more people having a common purpose that is a slate.
Unity can only be brought about by establishing a purpose which is understood by everybody within a group in order to build what is termed a unity of purpose.
