Open letter to Honorable Dexter Nduna

15 Feb 2016 at 11:14hrs | Views
Honorable I will address you with your title, I know you guys like it a lot, to honor yourselves and soundly assume that we also honor you. First and foremost I would like to give you credit in admission that as the economy continue to asphyxiate and as the country continue to breed professional vultures, we the young people continue to be the masochist sweethearts of poverty. I really concur with you on the skyrocketing number of young people the Roman Dutch Law will have to domesticate in gulags in your constituency, but believe me this is a countrywide issue, we in the Matabeleland region are also in the same pain, the pain of being so unfortunate to be born in a country where we are forced to an older age of 20, the country which has produced more violence and hate to us more than it produces bread, milk, wool and jobs for us, maybe you don't understand but it pains to nightmare to have to watch every day the cars leaving to South Africa everyday full of young people who have failed to get a living in their own country and with no option will have to go and sacrifice their innovation, their youthfulness and their humanity to be Restaurant slaves and libido alleviating Guinea pigs in South Africa.

I believe you are too concerned about this situation like I am and thus why you came up with this touching motion and also hope you can take this to Parliament again, do you know that with us youths with the money you are sitting in those fancy Ford Rangers , just a 1/3 of one Ford Ranger can help us establish sustainable livelihood projects where we can sustain ourselves?, take it to the Honorables that as young people we are also aware that there is Revenue generated from our State Natural Resources on a daily basis and remember these natural resources do not belong to the government but they were inherited from our forefathers and we the citizens of today have borrowed them from the future generations of this country, and at 20s I believe I am also part and parcel of that future and I don't see any reasons why we should continue to suffer, we are aware that this country of ours has been going into loan schemes with your International friends or should I call them well wishers…where is that money going to, for we don't see it as young people here ?, can you ask the comrades there to give us answers here, we have never heard of the animals in National Parks dead of hunger but we have heard of youth in Zimbabwe who are unemployed, futureless and hopeless, oh I had forgotten that Animal Ambassador to the Zimbabweans Cecil the Lion who was shot in cold blood didn't you politicians were giving the story much patriotism and concern?, then why not such concern to young people? , are you implying that animals are now important than us youths?.

Last and very far from least in this mantra, Honorable I am very concerned, concerned about the fact that we the youths have been judged as unreliable, unreliable for the funds which disappeared in the yester UKONDLA Program which turned out to be the country's fiasco of the decade. I believe me and you know that all went wrong due to the pathetic system we have just created as nation. I am talking about the patronage system me and you know, the same system where we have made young people passive citizens like clothes advertising dolls, where you have made us to believe that without you Honorables we cannot do anything to better ourselves, which me and you know that its just damagingly untrue gibberish and a limiting tool. Next time if programs like these are employed you guys should stop disbursing these funds on a partisan basis and look for innovation.. I don't need to be Zanu PF, MDC or Zapu youth to be seen as a Zimbabwean Youth who shares the shares the same citizenry equality right with you. If there is nothing which can be done for us then I think our Youthfulness should not be part of your Parliamentary speeches for we see that as a stab in our tenderest wound which is phrased as ‘endemic suffering'

As for your extraction of sperms from prisoners' proposition um I think you were just misquoted, unless if you meant that those lions at National Parks which continue to be treated like gods in National Parks are now put in an economic sperm extracting project. However if you really mean the prisoners, the same human beings victimized by the day to day circumstances in our society and deprived of the right to a decent life, I am sorry sir I beg to differ. Is this a new economic model, a new punishment model or a New Democratic model you are proposing?, do you think this country can be run financial by money generated from sperms extracted from poor prisoners?, how about we start with the Honorables there for two years and see if this can work?, wait a minute are you Honorable sir suggesting but the country buy again masturbatory equipment?, who is going to be masturbating these poor man?, what will happen if the country run out of prisoners, are you guys going to take all young unemployed people in the street and put them in jail for their sperms?, no no no I don't have a problem with democracy but sporadic liberal views like these are a threat to our culture and our identity as Africans. If we say no to gayism me and you can say no to exploitation of mankind too.

Yours

Sincerely

The concerned and Confused
