The MDC Youth Assembly is ready
to welcome any progressive young person who has seen the light and decides to
join the Big tent. The Big Tent is open for every person who is committed to
work with others for the realization of full and genuine upliftment of all.
The Newsday of Thursday, 5th
of June published a story that ZANU PF youths in Manicaland are planning to
join MDC T because they are fed up with ZANU PF’s election lies. They are most welcome
to the Big Tent. Thank God they are now realizing that they were being abused
by selfish individuals who were bent on self-enrichment at the expense of young
people and the generality of the masses. ZANU PF has a standing record of neglecting
the people once they succeed in rigging the vote. Engagement processes are in
place to talk to all progressive people who are willing to join the democratic
movement in pursuit of real change.
These youth’s argument resonates
directly with what the MDC YA has been calling for. The government of the day
must play its constitutional and parental responsibility and meet its promises
to the people at the same time abide by the supreme law of the day. ZANU PF
promised 2.2 million jobs to the people, eleven months after the election more
than 500 000 jobs have been lost and none created.
ZANU PF is tried and tested in
lying to the people since independence as a vote rigging strategy. It seems as
if they are now caught red handed on their own backyard and the people are
saying enough to this.
Some weeks ago we issued a
statement that the Assembly shall lead peaceful demonstrations to demand jobs,
this call is still alive. We are excited that other youths from ZANU PF has
joined and hailed this call. The plight of the youth is a reality that should
not be ignored and we are going to demand accountable leadership and fulfillment
of all constitutional obligations for the government.
We demand our JOBS
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
