By Own Correspondent- The youth wing in the MDC has called on the Emmerson Mnangagwa led administration to stop harrassing the youths in their quest for a more democratic Zimbabwe.

Addressing the media at Morgan Tsvangirai House in Harare, Tuesday, chairperson of the MDC Youth Assembly, Happymore “Bvondo” Chidziva said:

“….the crisis at hand is a crisis of leadership, the crisis of governance, the crisis of political legitimacy. We believe that the current government has no political or moral rights to be leading. We acknowledge that the current regime has failed to address the economy, health, educational and social challenges affecting the nation.

……… the military establishment in the country continues to interfere in the running of the country in violation of rights and freedoms of the ordinary people in Zimbabwe. There is continued abuse of opposition and civic society representatives in Zimbabwe… The youths note the continued persecution of young people through state sponsored violence especially following the January 14 violence. We are concerned by the targeting of youth activists. since we believe this is meant to disable, disenfranchise young people. We call upon an end to the harrassment of the youths.”
