Today student activism has been limited to the agenda of creating factions within the youth movement intermingled with power struggle. It has lost its known mandate limiting it to fighting for better food crumbs from the university rather than national issues. However, we might want to blame today’s student activist and cadres over this juncture and forget the main cause. We might want to argue that they are living in harsh time Zimbabwe has have recorded since student life. I want to share the crippling of the student activism. Prior 2006, where free university and icing with grants gave the then students to manoeuvre into scrutinising policies set for the nation. They saw themselves as future victims to any enactments that they saw adverse. This was coloured by mass student protests which began to be the trend of the University of Zimbabwe students under the leadership of cde Mutamabara, cde Jongwe among others. This set the record straight and defined student activism for the na...

My story in the 7 billion actions http://www.7billionactions.org/story/770-the-youth-inspirator

Democracy has perspective that differ with countries but in most African nations, it is limited to voting which at times is not free and fair. In western countries it spreads to participation at any level or structure by the masses. It is these principles youth absorb and will protect noting the vibrancy of western world youth than the counterparts in the developing world. It have come to be a true fact that in developing nations, democracy have been limited to voting and it is this shame that have seen youth absconding the electoral processes which are shrouded with a litany of anomalies like intimidation, massive vote rigging, media propaganda. i have been watching South African Municipal election campaign. i had the view that it has a better electoral system but amiss its just the same old story with elections in Africa. My question is this because of revolutionary parties that fear their end? or is it the African norm of democratic elections? the worst is this have see...

The creation of employment in Zimbabwe has remained the core responsibility of the state since time immemorial through the civil service and establishing investor friendly environment for the private sector. The GNU has successfully failed to create any employment by shutting door of employment in the civil service. Worse, it has stopped even the replacement of those that retire, reign, die or even get fired. Very old employees are being awarded extra time of their period of service at the expense of the youths. To your surprise ghost workers are still in the payroll since the end of the forgotten civil service audit. Yet proclaims, we are broke….broke giving dead and non existent people salaries. It brings a question, what is the GNU doing, buying top of range cars whilst youths wallow in poverty for the satisfaction of their whims and fancies utilizing the constituency development fund. The same unemployment creation spirit also gripped the Minister of Local Government uttering the ...
