Youth empowerment not cheap politicking
Youth empowerment has become central to the development aspirations of African countries, and in that Zimbabwe is no exception. With Government making empowerment and indigenisation a key pillar for economic growth and development, youth participation in the mainstream economy is a major talking point across the country.
