President Mnangagwa spoke to young people at the Junior Parliament meeting on Friday. He told them to take advantage of programs his government created for their benefit. The event happened at the new Parliament building where hundreds of teenagers gathered. Mnangagwa said his administration helps children and youth through different projects. He wants every young person to have better chances at success.
More than 1.5 million kids receive help through the Basic Education Assistance Module program. This money helps poor families send their children to school. The government also runs training centers across the country where teenagers learn useful skills. Students study farming, engineering, computers and hotel work at these places. These skills help them find jobs after they finish their education.
The meeting marked the Day of the African Child which happens every June 16th. This date remembers brave students who fought against unfair treatment in South Africa back in 1976. Mnangagwa said today's youth should follow their example and work hard for their country. He praised the launch of a new Alumni Network for former Junior Parliament members. This group will guide younger students and give advice about leadership.
The president talked about preparing for future technology changes. He wants training centers to teach digital skills that companies need. Old post offices might become innovation hubs where young people learn about artificial intelligence and other new tools. Mnangagwa expects the Junior Parliament to suggest real solutions instead of just talking about problems.
