MDC-T Harare East Youth Assembly Happymore Chidziva has said President Robert Mugabe''s planned meet the youth meetings to lure them to vote for him in the 2018 elections will fail considering the suffering currently experienced by the young people due to his failed governance.
"Mugabe's planned "meet the youth" national tours reactionary and desperate," he said.
"After realizing that the Zimbabwean youths for the first time since independence, have become more determined to define, secure and defend
their future, the ancient party is now desperately attempting, through so called tours to lure the young vote."
He said the MDC T Youth Assembly's recently launched #berekamwana tiende campaign,coupled by President Morgan Tsvangirai's meet the people national tours has left Zanu pf completely confused.
"It boggles the mind, what exactly will a 93 year old, a wheelchair bound candidate have to offer a struggling youth in the street? With few months
to the next general elections, Mugabe's last election's promise to the youth hasn't been met, even an inch of it. Mugabe promised over 2.2million
new jobs to the youth in 2013, but has dismally fulfilled none of it," he said.
"I urge the youth to dismiss such senseless electioneering tours meant to sell another election dummy to the youth. Such trivial approach to the
plight of the youth should not be entertained, especially when it's coming from a person whose lifespan is there for everyone to see. It should not be
forgotten that for the past 37years, Mugabe has been the sole leader of the country, and has presided over all the incompetence in government. Then,
what will he promise the youths this time around, which he couldn't deliver since independence?"
He said MDC T President, Morgan Tsvangirai has set the pace and led the way,hence the reactionary approach today by Mugabe to lure the youth vote. Instead, the youth are waiting in anticipation for the day he will step down.
"At the same time, I want to dismiss the sudden call for a youth quota by Zanu pf Manicaland youth chair, as too little too late. Calling for a youth
quota 37 years after independence can only be regarded as plagiarism and reactionary to our youth oriented policies," he said..
