MDC-N Youth Assembly Chairperson Shephard Dube on behalf of his party requested that MDC-T demilitarise its youth wing "As the MDC Youth Assembly we call for the demilitarisation of youth wings of political parties especially ZANU PF Youth Brigade and MDCT Youth Batallion. For far too long these institutions have been used to perpetrate violence against the citizens of Zimbabwe and the political rivals." said Dube
He went on to say "We also call for the depenetration of student institutions by political parties. ZANUSU and ZACOSU have now turned into political vehicles of MDCT and ZANU PF."
One Sidney Mkhosi secretary of MDC-T Youth Assembly in response to Dube's accusation said "We are all Zimbabweans who have suffered from human rights abuses of ZANU PF so what is important is that we unite as the young people of Zimbabwe and not point fingers at each other."
