MDC-T urges school children to join struggle

The main opposition MDC-T has encouraged students and children in secondary schools to join the "struggle" to rid Zimbabwe of President Robert Mugabe's administration.

The party's shadow education minister Heneri Dzinotyiwei told journalists at a Press briefing yesterday that the failure to retire by people over 60 years was hindering employment creation and young people must be seen to openly discuss these issues.

In the past few weeks, Zimbabwe has been on edge after protests erupted across the country, as citizens, angry with government's failure to curb corruption and many other ills, took to the streets.
