Welshman Ncube uses Game of thrones puzzle, 'Power is a curious thing'
This comes just after the interim secretary general of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Sengezo Tshabangu recalled 15 CCC legislators claiming that they were no longer party members. It looks like Tshabangu is carrying a sword.
Ncube used an iconic duo between Tyrion and Varys.
Wrote Ncube on this X (formerly Twitter) account.
A dialogue between Lord Varys & Lord Tyrion
Varys: Power is a confusing thing, my lord... Do you like puzzles?
Tyrion: Why, will you tell me one?
Varys: Three great men are sitting in one room (a king, a priest & a rich man). Between them stands a mercenary with a sword.

Varys: Three great men are sitting in one room (a king, a priest & a rich man). Between them stands a mercenary with a sword.
Each man resorts to it to kill the other two.
Tyrion: It depends on the mercenary!!
Lord Varys: Really?
He has no crown, no gold and no protection from the gods
Tyrion: But he has the sword, the power of death and life.

Who lives and who dies?
Tyrion: It depends on the mercenary!!
Lord Varys: Really?
He has no crown, no gold and no protection from the gods
Tyrion: But he has the sword, the power of death and life.
Lord Varys: But if the power of the sword rules, why do we pretend that the king has all the power?
When Ned Stark lost his head... who was really responsible?
King Joffrey?
The Executioner?
Or something else?
Tyrion: In the end I decided I don't like puzzles.

Lord Varys: Power lies where people believe it. It is an illusion, a shadow on the wall. A very small man can reflect a large shadow.
