The job freeze by the government is youth discriminatory

As a young person in the humanitarian work it irks the mind to continuously hear the government extending its till forever notice on employment. The recent call by the Minister of finance on freezing of employment is ridiculous when it comes to this government commitment towards young people. I wonder what is wrong with the people who sit in parliament and senate. I doubt the intellectual capacity in relation to sustainable Zimbabwe. I know some cohort will start saying this writer is unpatriotic. The government is pouring monies through the Youth Fund to start their projects this writer is naïve. Naïve my naïve I have to say. Not all of us young people want some damned stupid projects in an unfavourable business and economic environment. Alas when someone is doing a Bachelor in Education, its definite one wants to be a teacher not start a school. Look again at an engineering student, one need all monies set for the Youth Fund to start a vibrant engineering company. The same applies to any tertiary education student. The current Zimbabwean environment is better scheduled for employment than starting a myopic business venture.


Scrutinise through the facets of facts. A fool will label this writer unpatriotic. Which young person on dearly mother earth will support a government that is never patriotic to its youths? The virtue of freezing any employment marks ones ignorance this government has towards young people. With a booming unemployment rate topping 92% the government simply decide to stop employing since 2010 and renewed recently till forever notice.


Like I have said the facets of facts tell you that Universities and Colleges are registration of students is more than ever. The numbers rose from the past. We have more graduates filling the government closed employment market. When these idle-mind sit in parliament make such a wishy-washy and perverse decision, you won’t need a rocket scientist to gauge the mind-capacity. It also brings these so called university Professors to question their professorship. How can highly educated professors recruit young people for stalled programmes. I wonder?


It is clear that this government is simply ignorant of investing in young people despite young people being the present and the future. The government seems concern of the past and the present and never of the future. It`s simple they will not be part of the future.


As such the government is creating a skills gap as in terms who will replace the old dudes when the die because they are simply not retiring and it’s not any time soon. This gap will cause the hardest challenge the future is yet to see. A total of 13000 young people has graduated from tertiary institutions since 2009 and received a closed government employment shop.  The number is increasing half-yearly.  Five years from now we expect the number to double of educated unemployed young people whose skills will vanish due to lack of practice. This simply means that these young people will not be employable when the old guards pass on form civil service. 


The government need to be informed of their evil and unfriendly policies for young people. The government should invest by employing young people for the futures sake. This remains my dream against a government interested in the past and present and never the future, for they are not part of the future.  As young people let’s steadfastly demand our space or our future is doomed by this greedy generation and invests for the generation that will come after us. For we will not remember them  but be remembered.
