Zanu PF UK chapter has said Zimbabwean youth need jobs for survival, the remarks which might be challenging for the party leadership who promised 2,2 million jobs during the 2013 elections which have not been created but instead more jobs have been lost as many companies shut down after then.
"Comparing December 2015 and April 2016 a lot of positives can be seen already. There is an improved electricity supply in the country. There is an improved water flow in the taps," said the Zanu PF Uk. "This is bad news to those that don't want Zimbabwe to progress because it spells doom to their political fortunes. What's left is the jobs issue. This is an area which needs the whole focus of the country to centre on. We need our young people to find jobs which are aligned to what they went to university for."
The chapter said this notion that there is low unemployment in Zimbabwe because there are vendors who sell trinkets is absolute nonsense.
"If someone is forced to scrounge around for a living so as to avoid resorting to crime that does not mean it's employment even if we decide to rewrite Economics books. It's a fact that there is high unemployment in Zimbabwe and we should focus on things that change that situation, not to try to persuade someone who is churning out CVs like confetti to every building with some activity that they are employed because they sell belts or airtime on street corners. That's heartlessly insensitive," said the chapter.
