This afternoon, I had the distinct honour of presiding over the ZANU PF Youth League National Assembly, held under the vibrant theme: " An Empowered Youth, A Stronger Nation.”The youth are the modernisers of our economy and the true inheritors of the Fourth Chimurenga. The future belongs to you; our role is to guide you with the lessons of the past.
I challenge our young leaders to constantly reflect on our national journey to enhance productivity, discipline, and meaningful economic engagement.Through decentralized platforms like the Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Training Centre, the Second Republic remains fully committed to bringing empowerment initiatives and national consciousness training directly to your communities.However, ZANU PF is not a club of mere talkers. Our DNA demands meticulous thinkers and effective implementers.
I have directed the Youth League national executives to begin reporting on their tangible economic contributions, including tax inputs and community development. The nation has a right to know the immense role our youth play in building Zimbabwe.Let us reject individualism, division, and complacency.
I urge you all to embrace new technologies, partner with institutions like ZimTrade, cultivate a culture of service, and remain loyal to the revolutionary principles of our party. Together, united in discipline, we will drive Zimbabwe’s modernization agenda forward.
