Kitendawili? Tega!

When someone says in Swahili kitendawili (riddle), you'd better adjust your thinking and respond with a hearty tega! loosely meaning go ahead – just try to trap me in your literary snare!

Nina askari wanne,
Mmoja wao akiondoka hao
Wengine hawafanyi kazi.

I have four soldiers,
If one of them leaves,
the rest cannot work.

What am I?
