Today (Sunday) is the National Youth Day, the worst of its kind in Zimbabwe as there is nothing to celebrate.
Gripped by sad losses of popular and inspiring youths through death, indeed Zimbabwean youths are like a cigarette-both sides are being hurt. It reminds me of my late homeboy Paul Matavire ” yangu nhamo ndeyemudzanga uku yakarumwa
uku inotsva”.
Under the oppressive regime truly speaking the plight of the Zimbabwean youths is never to be addressed.
We mourn the passing away of inspirational youths and fighters Musician Soul Jah Love, Genius Kadungure, our own Simbarashe Mafaune, Pendence, among others.
The Nation is devided , tribes ,political and religious groups are up to each other’s throats.
The Zanu pf regime has captured all public offices and has captured the social net , unfortunately it is the one that has sowed a hatred and disunited nation.
Unity has been removed from the peace loving Zimbabweans and hatred and violence have been imposed and forced unto unexpecting innocent citizens.
Lack of employment , the most worrisome crisis that dazzles them all among youths. Youths of today havent know or enjoyed the fruits of the liberation strugyhle hence there still need for liberation from neo- colonialist zanu pf regime.
One may want to dispute the ignorance of Zanu of regime to address the plight of the youths but even scrutinizing the government top post personel the youths are sidelined yet they constitute a larger number in the total population of the country. The generational consensus of having a youthful visionary leadership that is sustainable is facing some resistance from a few old corrupt top officials who fear that their previous dirty work may haunt them under a non partisan independent judiciary system.
We have a government or a ConCourt declared President who doesn’t listen to the voice of the youths but silences the it.The case of Allan Moyo, Tawanda Mucheiwa, Makomborero Haruzivishe, Godknows Kurauone, Partson Dzamara, the trio girls among others.
The regime uses state apparatus to silence the youths whom are now instilled to effect change. If it were a political warfare of zanu of and mdc fullstop then we could have said something else. However Zanupf has declared enenimity and war against Students Youth, Youths Journalists, Youth NGO leaders , Youthful musicians the case of win3kD. It is indeed the Government against the youth or in simple form the government against the Zimbabwean Youths. Its so unfortunate that the youths command a lager number in these abused state apparatus like Army ,Police, Central Intelligence , ZPC , Ministry offices, among others. Its high time youths from these fields say enough is enough. How can they keep on being used to oppress or kill their fellow generational compatriots. It’s high time Youths unite for a cause that is the future of the country.
The charismatic people’s President Nelson Chamisa has already stood for ths youths what is needed is how best can he be allowed in to usher in his visionary building plan for Zimbabwean youths. He can do this from State House period!!.
