In front of a strong crowd of 2 000 people in Johannesburg, Berea park on Saturday's ZPRA /MKVA commemoration of the fallen heroes of the Wankie and Sipolilo battles, the Zapu Youth Front president, Future Msebele took a swipe at the Zanu-PF government that has done more harm than good in the past 3 decades. He bemoaned the failure of the ruling party to fix the country and said Zimbabwe was a good case study of a failed state.
"If a 90-year-old is making a 30 year plan, they are protecting the status quo. But if a 30-year-old is making a 20 year plan, they are making an investment. Zanu-PF is a confused and confusing lot that wants to confuse everyone .For how long shall we be cleaners, for how long shall we use our degrees for menial jobs," he said to a raucous applause.
He further called on all the youths in Zimbabwe from all different political formations and non governmental organisations to come together for an "ALL Africa Youth Congress" to draw the way forward so that "we can rid ourselves of this monster called Zanu-PF, The Youth Front is openly calling for all the youths in Zimbabwe, be it from political parties or perhaps from non governmental organisations to come join us in an "All Africa Youth Congress "to map the way forward. Its time the youth come out from flats and houses and take charge of our destiny. Let us do it the youth way."
He also didn't spare the thugs who invaded the farm of Zapu President Dr Dumiso Dabengwa ,"the very same people who invaded the farm of our party president, Dr Dumiso Dabengwa, also invaded MR Connolly's farm and Bulawayo city council's farm and nothing was done. Very soon their homes are going to be invaded and be burnt down."
For the past weeks Zapu has demonstrated to the world and everyone that it is the only political outfit in Zimbabwe that is not going to be intimidated by Zanu-PF and that it is now prepared and ready to take it further to ensure that the blood of the martyrs wasn't shed in vain. With its former military wing and youth wing openly throwing its weight behind its leader Dr Dumiso Dabengwa, the writing is on the wall for Zanu-PF.
