Addressing officers undergoing a peace support operation training at 5 Brigade on Wednesday, Prof Moyo said the new crop of African youths were better than the majority of these leaders in terms of vision.
“Africa now have serious deficit of true leaders. Majority of our African leaders are not fit for purpose, we no longer have those luminaries of yesteryear,” said Prof Moyo.
“Their minds, values, ethos and goals are shameful, they do not even represent our great continent.”
Prof Moyo said Africa would forever miss the vibrant crop of the likes of Comrades Julius Nyerere, Kenneth Kaunda, Kwame Nkrumah and Jomo Kenyata.
“Whenever they went to international forums they spoke highly of Africa and represented it highly.
“Many African leaders, with exception of our own President Mugabe and a few principled ones left, now lack respect in international community.
“They are invited and kept far away from deliberations for example at G-20 summit, they are guarded by security far from the summit and after the Westerners finish deliberations they are then called and asked what do you want us to do for you and they say we need lines of credit, we have so and so challenges we need your help, just imagine.
“They will be literally holding begging bowels, they do not represent interests of Africa. Many are now being used as point man by Westerners this is a new crop of shameful leaders we now have in Africa,” he said.
