Zimbabwean Journalist Oscar Pambuka has written an Open Letter to the President of Zimbabwe, ED Mnangagwa urging him to look into the plight of the youths, you can read the full letter below:
Greetings to you Your Excellency Cde ED. Well this is my first letter to you my dear President of the Republic of Zimbabwe. I hope I find you well.
Allow me to highlight a very pertinent issue which needs your urgent attention Your Excellency.
The issue is about us youths born after independence. I feel we have been left out in the political and especially economic discourse.
Visit any ghetto right now as an example, you will see a generation not working, farming, mining, trading or constructing anything. Its not because we are incapable Your Excellency but no opportunities are being availed to this important and strategic group.
Whilst the older generation has farms, multiple mines and businesses, houses, cars etc, our group remains stagnant and only own the clothes we wear and nothing else.
What is your plan Your Excellency with this strategic generation? Are you happy to see this generation abuse drugs, alcohol and so on or you have a concrete plan to support us.
We don’t own any collateral other than our intellectual property.
Please please please as a matter of urgency, let’s immediately address this anomaly.
I am 34 years old right now and together with my generational peers, we are in a desperate situation. Tibatsireiwo Mukuru tivakewo dzimba dzedu kwete kugara mu one room kusvika ndava 60.
I know you listen Your Excellency.
