Zanu-PF national Youth League secretary Cde Pupurai Togarepi has urged the newly-elected National Assembly members to prioritise the setting up of youth empowerment desks, which will act as official platforms for coordinating and discussing various developmental issues and challenges facing the youths.
He said they (youths) deserved a special recognition since they were the vanguard of the revolutionary party.
In an interview yesterday, Cde Togarepi said young people should refuse to be manipulated by politicians to engage in violence.
“zanu-pf is encouraging all new legislators who won the just-ended harmonised elections to form youth desks.
“The desks should be set up at their respective constituency offices, where party programmes and new ideas on youth development will be discussed,” said Cde Togarepi.
“Youths are a vulnerable demographic section of our national population considering that most of them do not own property or assets of value. These are the people we need to take care of. They are the vanguard of the revolutionary party.
“Young people must be capacitated to raise their standards of living,” he said.
The formation of constituency youth empowerment desks will therefore significantly reduce the rate of unemployment in the country.
