MDC Youth Assembly is set to stage nationwide demonstrations
to demand for jobs. ZANU Pf in its July 2013 manifesto promised 2.2 million
jobs to the people but the reverse is true. To date more than 400 000 jobs have
been lost. This is gross human rights violation and the failure by the
government to provide decent jobs for its citizens as enshrined by the new
charter is a severe infringement of the constitution.
This has been necessitated by a Youth Assembly National
Council resolution of 30 March 2014, which reads:
Realising that the ZANU PF illegitimate regime
has failed to provide even a single job out of the 2.2 million jobs that
they promised to the people, instead thousands have lost their jobs in
the last eight
months, the Assembly resolved that the current government must leave office immediately and pave way for free and fare elections.
months, the Assembly resolved that the current government must leave office immediately and pave way for free and fare elections.
As young people of this beloved nation we are tired and our
patience has warped. ZANU PF has been lying to us since 1980 about heaven on
earth. This has to stop. The time has come to demand what rightfully belongs to
us. It is an open secret that ZANU PF is tired and directionless. What they
plan and do daily is to plunder and disgustingly ransack our national God given
resources, this has to stop now.
The Assembly has taken heed of the nationwide call by
President Morgan Tsvangirai to take corrective action against few people who
want to enjoy the fruits of our nation while the majority is struggling to
sustain a living. We are going to lead serious action demanding our jobs.
We have piles and piles of unemployment forms that were
forwarded to our offices by young people who are in dire need of employment,
which we cannot afford to ignore. This is the time to take over and reclaim our
destiny as current and future leaders of this nation. To those who may think
demanding for our jobs is a joke, they are lost and they will soon realize the seriousness
of this national outcry.
We will not be intimidated or shaken by threats since we
have two options i.e. to suffer or to take action now.
Enough is enough we want our jobs now.
