The Youth Inspirator

As I celebrate the new transition from Mugabe as the president of Zimbabwe, I am yet to find common sense to put the current president and cabinet on a 100 day watch as we do to an elected executive. I am definitely jovial about the developments in our political arena as it will yield its impact for our future relating to succession and general changing of persons we have to identify as president. However, it’s not an interesting debate for now but my scrutiny to the imminent discourse we are about to face. We have a new leadership that have 8 months before the next plebiscite scheduled in July 2018. This has been ascertained by the newly inaugurated president ED Mnangangwa. As we celebrated the new political dispensation, we forgot that this will come with a price on us as citizens. The price inform of tax. As the president promulgates his new cabinet, by the culture of ZANU PF, new expensive and top of range cars will be bought for the Ministers as well as their deputies....

The Real Agenda For Youth Transformation Trust is concerned deeply by the Zimbabwean government on the perpetual silence and inactivity on the Post-2015 Development Agenda. The Post 2015 Development Agenda is a process led by the United Nations aiming to help define the future global development framework  that will succeed the Millennium Development Goals.  Other nations have taken a gigantic step since the onset of the launch by the United Nations. The wake of the Post-2015 Development Agenda took the majority of the world as wave to introspect on the MDGs. Over a decade the world development process has been prescribed by the MDGs which despite having participatory flaws can never go uncelebrated. This paper rather is not concerned with the past but with the future as we are in the final months of the MDGs.   We are heavily worried by the status Zimbabwe has taken on the process of the Post-2015 Development Agenda. We acknowledge a few steps towards generati...

This phrase "Knowledge is power" has been relevant since biblical times as the people perish due to lack of knowledge.   Knowledge is linked to awareness, familiarity, facts and comprehending information. This essay looks at the paramount importance of knowledge to the Zimbabwean youthful populace. Zimbabwe has been on the development agenda track since independence, however that information scarcely finds its way to youths. Sadly this is the majority of the Zimbabwean population constituting 67%. It is a right for youths to access information as promulgated by the Constitution and enshrined in the universal declaration of human rights. Enlightenment theorist in the likes of Jeremy Bentham questions the legality of a government and the answer is having the happiest people. Gazing from the perspective, knowledge on development policies is critical such that small victories can be celebrated as the nation moves policy to fruition.   In any case, the happiness is more ...

Political participation is and remains a critical component in youth development for the betterment and sustainability of the future. As a youth I have been following the political debacle in ZANU PF since the 2014 youth conference. The role of youths in this political vehicle has been reduced to mere consultants hired when required, dumped when done and the purpose hangs around violence and intimidation. It is a mere situation when youths are no different to a used condom awaiting its destiny of nothing but being dumped. The independence of youths in ZANU PF in her history saw robust proponents of socialism through the likes of Tongogara, Solomon Mujuru, Moyo, Zvobgo, Nkomo among others. These stood by policies and principles not shaken by power or finance. These are the firebrands that saw ZANU's victory in 1980. Mandela at one time was radical, the ANC policy was not to engage any other races in the movement. At that time it was profound to stand by principles. Well, t...

Our government of presupposed learned folks irks the eye and ear as policy making have become policy taking. Arriving at a policy uptake level either based on populism or personal interest has been their political strategy. The ever rising issue of banning the import of cheap and used Japanese cars is yet one step that tells you we are going nowhere. The Zimbabwean government has resorted to fighting symptoms of the disease rather than the actual cause. The willow vale dudes have shown lack of research as to why people prefer Used cars than theirs. Instead of correcting that, they lure the policy takers into a dead end personal interest journey. A journey they think by banning used Japanese cars will see people affording theirs. Today, the country suffers from many diseases that shred from the economy, culture to politics. It is a reality that our sick nation is slowly landing into the intensive care unit fading into a coma. Zimbabwe is so sick that no one wants to invest ...

It was the hope of seeing relatives, children and spouses that stayed to live in a better Zimbabwe. The spirit for the Zimbabweans generation should not live in a colonised country ever. It was not only the spirit of democracy, informed by majority rule. It was...

Zimbabwe has enjoyed voting since 1980. The trends of voting however have failed to attract new voters as well as retain old ones. The purpose to vote was introduced as a manifest war against the white regime which stood as the trump card than the electoral manifesto. On the 31 of July Zimbabweans, went again to cast their vote one more time, which I believe was for change. This change was not of anything but the way, elected officials have been conducting themselves. Cheaply as liars, only to resurface during election times. I ought to believe that the majority that stood more than the ones who voted joined in my belief that this process is alien to Zimbabwe even have been practised since 1980. It had brought nothing but state of art thieves that hide under the finger of sanctions whilst wining and dining in pools of corruption. Well, that casting process passed with the greatest shocker of all time, to the winners, losers as well as observers. I stand to say in Zimbabwe...
