Zwai Bala's comment that "he has every right to join a political party of his choice" is correct.

Zwai Bala's comment that "he has every right to join a political party of his choice" is correct.

But Bala should have taken into consideration that his career is a business.

Just like anything else, politics, economics, social mores and technology affects businesses.

The same goes for Hlomla Dandala.

They should first have consulted business specialist for advice.

Bala can produce music and Dandala star in movies but the number of people who used to listen to their music or watch the movies starring the two and their profits will definitely go down, resulting in their failure to secure future contracts.

These are the basic principles of running a business. They will definitely be determined by Cope's performance.

Cope doesn't represent the market that you sell your CDs or DVDs in. I think you made the wrong decision to go public about politics.

Gentleman, good luck with your future endeavours.
