The Day i faced threats in my life

”T he Democratic Union of Zimbabwe (DUZ) party is in disarray after its communications director, Itayi Tawona Muchemwa, resigned citing a diverted political focus and accused party leader, Robert Chapman of only wanting influence in order to join the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) framework. Muchemwa’s resignation comes a week after party Youth National Chairperson, Elvis Dzvene, also resigned, accusing the leadership of dictatorial tendencies.

What tends to happen is that after elections, political parties cease to exist.

This role though, is one that can only be taken up with sufficient motivation and support from individuals who see the youth beyond the labels that have been placed on them such as “lazy”, “ignorant”, “irresponsible” and plenty other terms. We want our youths to be economically and psychologically emancipated so that they can live to

People's Freedom

-
Freedom should not be understood to mean leadership positions or even appointments to top positions. It must be understood as the transformation of the lives ordinary people in the hostels and the ghettos; in the squatter camps; on the farms and in the mine compounds. It means constant consultation between leaders and members of their organisations; it demands of us to be in constant touch with the people, to understand their needs, hopes and fears; and to work together with them to improve their conditions.” – Nelson Mandela

As we try to shape a better future let it be clear that the old guard politicians must not be allowed to continue to impose their old moribund paradigm on us but rather let us all reject anything to do with the past and be the change we seek! The only hope is on  # APA 2018
