Youth of Zimbabwe please rise up and free us from the evil regime of Zanu PF! South African Youths have given you a practical example, please rise up! Rise up and fight for your birthrights.
We are held up and made prisoners in our land by some nonagenarian who will be celebrating his 92nd birthday in a few months time. His wife Grace is urinating on your mothers and fathers in broad day light. We have been reduced to nothingness, our voices have been taken away from us, we have been threatened with deaths if we are to make an uprising, our vendors have been crushed, nobody asks how the citizens of Zimbabwe will survive if that last resort to fend for a decent living is crushed and are subjected to criminal offences by the government that claims to have liberated us from white colonial bondage.
Millions of us are in those white countries that were once colonial masters, how we begged them to grant us asylum because that very liberated Zimbabwe country is not safe anymore, it is now a house of hunger.
Did we not see the power of the youth next door in South Africa? Did we not witness how the youth went out and changed the rudeness of sky rocketed university fees, demanded what they wanted and they got it? What are the youth of Zimbabwe waiting for? What are you waiting for? South Africans have demonstrated absolute courage and their courage was a great success. We need that very fire and courage to confront the evil regime of Zanu PF and tell them to pack and go. We cannot wait for Mugabe to die so that we have our freedom; it is not guaranteed by his death mind you. We should demand our rightful freedom now.
Dear youth of Zimbabwe rise up and tear this dictatorship of Zanu PF. We are yearning for that life that gives us the bare minimum, to give some semblance of decent lives in our great country Zimbabwe. Your own fathers and mothers were courageous enough to go to war and we won the freedom, albeit a false one, we ask you to rise up and tear the roads of Harare and Bulawayo and Gweru and Kwekwe and Mutare. Make that Zanu PF government for once ungovernable, take it over and demand some democratic institutions to take over the order of the day. The government of Zanu PF stinks to high heaven.
Dear youth of Zimbabwe rise up and fight this evil government, bring out the fire in you and fight this government and you will be surprised you will win this. All the young people in all departments, schools, universities, colleges, army, police, street vendors, get to the streets and fight for your rights, you are not cowards, but you are more than capable educated, literate, do not take second-citizenship from Zanu PF government as the citizenship. You are better than the insults you are receiving from the Zanu PF. We have been insulted enough, and enough is enough? Tipeyiwo ma serious.
Millions of your relatives are languishing in foreign countries waiting for you to bring change in the country and they can return to rebuild the economy that has been broken down the past 35 years. Think about the Xenophobia they have to endure in those countries and they would rather they stayed put than come Zimbabwe, the house of hunger. There is nobody who will bring change in Zimbabwe except you the youth of Zimbabwe. Please rise up as from tomorrow and not later. Take the practical example from the youth of South Africa who stood together and got what they wanted. What happened in South yesterday can happen in Zimbabwe too.
Refuse your parents to be handed freebees from the First Lady. We refuse to be reduced to beggars in our own land. We do not want to survive from her benevolence but we can work and give our lives decent meaning than to been to be told to line up for hand-outs from a once-upon-a-time typist.
Youth of Zimbabwe, please do the right thing rise up and free us from all evil of the Zanu PF government! Please do the right thing, tell the government of Zanu to pack and go! If you don' free us from this dilemma we shall be told to eat grass to survive. Remember you are the hope, the only hope for this great country.
Your MOTTO should be;
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
WE CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!
FREEDOM NOW!
