The
MDC’ s economic blueprint launched by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai
yesterday the 29th of November is a young people centred, young
people propelled and young people backed policy.
The
Jobs, Upliftment, Investment Capital and the Environment (JUICE) is a draught
for job creation and the prescription for eradicating destitution among the
youth of our country. It is a comprehensive approach to sustainable, inclusive
and people centred development. Poverty, unemployment, economic destruction and
entrepreneurship degradation were mechanisms created by ZANU-PF to rig the
future of our country against the young people of today.
The
thrust of this policy is to create 1 million jobs by 2018, increase growth rate
exponentially, further reduce inflation rate, deliver a US$100 billion economy
by 2040, improve electricity generation and build a social contract. Whilst the
government will be concentrating in the creation of the million jobs there are downstream
benefits that are going to come with such a thrust as more jobs are likely to
be created in the informal sector. JUICE is set to see a boom in job creation
through investment and consequently creating an economically stable country
founded on the inseparable combination of economic growth, investment and
employment creation – through sustainable development. As the MDC youth we
believe this is going to be a panacea to an economy that had been on a negative
growth rate for a period of more than 8 years. There will be an increase in the
domestic savings which will help to ease pressure on capital on the domestic
scene.
As
young people we are motivated and encouraged that the MDC has put the interests
and concerns of young people at the centre of the economic policy. Through JUICE,
we see Zimbabwe working again. We see a brighter and prosperous Zimbabwe under
a new administration led by Dr Morgan Tsvangirai.
We
joyously welcome JUICE as template for national and individual development,
where potential can be realised and a sustainable future can be attained. There
can be no other better Christmas present than this one heading into the year
2013, the year of the watershed elections. JUICE restores hope and sets the
tone for what we believe is a new Zimbabwe and a new beginning.
The
young people of our country who roam the streets on a daily basis will finally
realise their dreams. The indigenous entrepreneurs that fled bush economic
policies will finally return to establish themselves in a system where hard
work is rewarded and the playing field is levelled for all competitors.
There
is no doubt that the MDC JUICE will quench the thirst that has created all the
social, economic and political ills of our country.
“Our
era is now, let’s do it now to shape our own destiny!!!”
