ZANU PF NATIONAL Youth Commissar Innocent Hamandishe has declared that  President Robert Mugabe is their choice candidate for 2018 presidential race despite his failing health and the fact that by that time he will be 94 years old more advance than what he is now.

Mugabe turned 91 on the 21st February and the 21st Movement organised a birthday bash for him in Victoria Falls on February 28.

This year's celebrations were being held under the theme "Celebrating the birth of Gushungo, the icon of Zimbabwe's revolution and champion of youth empowerment".

Hamandishe who is the chairperson for the 21st movement organizing committee recently said the youths were planning a bigger 21st movement event for 2018 when they expected to celebrate the president's 94 birth day at the same time campaigning for him to be elected the presidency to run the country for another five year term which will make him to rule the country for 43 years if he would be alive.

But some Malawian prophets have prophesied that he will not live beyond 2015.

 Hamandishe said as Zanu PF youths they hope Mugabe to have another resounding victory in 2018.

 "We want to double the number of participants in the 21st movement in 2018 because as youths we have already chosen our candidate for 2018 who is his excellence President Mugabe," said Hamandishe.

Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe since independence and has been accused of misrule and election rigging all which are blamed for the crumbled economic situation in the country. He is blamed for his bad policies such and the land reform programme which renders several white commercial farmers farm less while thousands if not millions of farm workers were rendered jobless.

Other policies which came during his misrule are the indigenization policy, the and some repressive legislatives such as the Public Order and Security Act and Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) which are blamed for enabling the government to stifle the media and violate freedoms of association.
