THE inclusion of the black majority in the mainstream economy coupled with the transfer of ownership of means of production in key sectors to locals is a reality that Zimbabwean youths must defend as the country strides towards economic transformation, the Deputy Secretary for the Commissariat in the ZANU PF Youth League, Cde Taurai Kandishaya, has said.
In an interview ahead of the 45th Independence Day celebrations on April 18 in Nembudziya, Gokwe, Cde Kandishaya said the provision of platforms to access equal economic opportunities for the youth should enable a sense of patriotic responsibility.
He thanked President Mnangagwa for decentralising Independence Day celebrations, and leading the devolution agenda, saying the strategy has been useful in ensuring that development is spread evenly to formerly marginalised places.
This year’s celebrations are themed “Zim@45: Devolve and Develop Together Towards Vision 2030,” which underlines the Second Republic’s commitment to fostering inclusive national development through devolution.
Cde Kandishaya implored the youth to remain brave and emulate the selfless sacrifices made by the nationalist generation in particular through initiating the Land Reform Programme.
“As young people, we are no longer fighting using guns because we went to school, we are fighting using ideas. Our forebearers instructed us to offload weapons and embark on the thrust of developing this nation fighting a new economic war where we seek sustainable economic liberation or sustainable economic freedoms,” he said.
