In Solidarity with Zimbabwe Youth, a Chipinge Leader Advocates for Youth Recognition

By Leonnel Mhuka   Mutema Musikavanhu, Chipinge  – A resident of Mutema Musikavanhu constituency, Mr. Moyana, shared his thoughts on the state of Zimbabwe’s youth during a discussion with Change Radio on 21 November. He highlighted the struggles young people face in the country, from lack of job opportunities to frustrations with the government’s response to their needs.   “Young people across Zimbabwe, from Limpopo to Zambezi, from Nyamapanda to Plumtree, are increasingly frustrated,” Mr. Moyana said. “There are no formal job opportunities for them. Many graduates, instead of using their education in formal employment, are forced to turn to informal trading just to survive.”   He criticized the government for failing to address youth issues, citing frequent demolitions of houses in major cities and a tendency to shift blame rather than provide solutions. He noted that this treatment leaves many young people feeling abandoned and unrecognized.   However, Mr. Moyana expressed hope for the future under the leadership of President Nelson Chamisa. “Our youth are striving and hopeful for a change,” he stated. “They have high expectations for a government that will focus on development and job creation.”   He emphasized the importance of good governance, arguing that the youth need a supportive system where they can use their skills and achieve their goals. “This can only happen if corrupt governance is removed,” he said. “We need to...
