Good values need to be inculcated in youths to address the scourge of corruption.
This was said by Primary and Secondary Education Minister Evelyn Ndlovu during a press conference to welcome South Korean clergyman Reverend Ock Soo Park in Harare recently.
Rev Park is the founder of the International Youth Fellowship (IYF) for Youth Mind.
IYF is a global youth non-governmental organisation founded on Christian values, which was founded in 2001.
“What Reverend Park has brought here is what we are in need of as a country, the change of the mind-set,” said Minister Ndlovu.
She said Rev Park has visited at the time the country was grappling with rampant drug abuse by youths.
“We have to change the mind-set of our youths. They are abusing drugs such as crystal meth (mutoriro).
“Reverend Park, you came at the right time with this subject of changing the mind,” she added.
“Our generation grew up with Christian values and these values made us who we are today.
“The Government of Zimbabwe, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, facilitated your journey here because the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education really appreciate the work you are doing in changing lives.”
Reverend Park is on a global tour to spread the gospel of changing mind-sets to overcome challenges and change lives for the better.
Prior to visiting Zimbabwe, he was in Malawi and Zambia, where he met the countries’ respective Heads of State.
