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.
