HURUNGWE-based youth, farmer and businessman, Kudzai Gasho has been appointed chairperson of the Pan-African Youth Forum.

In an interview, the elated Gasho said he was ready to represent the country and Africa as a whole.

“I feel that we should concientise African youths and decolonise them from post-colonial effects, a colonised mind is a danger to the future and development of Africa.

“For Africa to develop, we need to work as a team and heal from the post-colonial effects. We cannot totally liberate Africa economically if we do not change our mindset and understand the systems that were put in place by the imperialists.

The Pan-African Youths Forum is a socially friendly humanitarian education and expansive society, advocating for the survival of colour starting from Africa to the Caribbean and the diaspora.

The forum was founded by Pan-African Youths of the twenty-first century advocating for the complete liberation of Africa from evil unlawful and barbaric Berlin borders holding the African continent hostage economically and politically since the birth of the flag independence.

Gasho said there was a need to put Zimbabwe on the limelight.

“All the efforts made by the Zimbabwean Government led by President Mnangagwa need to be told to Africa, lessons and development, need to be drawn.It is time now that as youths we speak in one voice against sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe,” he said.

Gasho also quoted Kwame Nkrumah at an OAU meeting in 1963 saying: “I am confident that by our concerted effort and determination, we shall lay here the foundations for a continental Union of African states.

“A whole continent has imposed a mandate upon us to lay the foundation of our union at this conference. It is our responsibility to execute this mandate by creating here and now, the formula upon which the requisite superstructure may be created. On this continent, it has not taken us long to discover that the struggle against colonialism does not end with the attainment of national independence.”
