EDITOR – I HAVE come to the realisation that some people have a tendency of being spoon-fed and the moment they are left to feed for themselves, they lack the art and principles to a healthy life.
Many youth-related policies were implemented, but because of different political affiliations and other reasons, some youths have distanced themselves.
Instead of embracing the opportunity, some youths are seen crying foul.
If only my fellow youths would understand that they play a central role in the development of a state’s economy since they are the vibrant majority, their problems would be half-solved.
The 2004 National Youth Policy states, “…creating an enabling environment and marshalling the resources necessary for undertaking programmes to fully develop youths’ mental, moral, social, economic, cultural, spiritual and physical potential in order to improve their quality of life.”
Instead of gallivanting and wallowing cultivating ideas of violence as well as trying to get identity from the media, I say youths go and grab the opportunities out there.
Vasikana endai munodzidzira kutyaira mota, inga zvauya chaiko kwamunogara wani musazoshaya mabasa nekushaya chitambi.
