A local politician just held a big youth event in his district. Shurugwi North legislator Joseph Mpasi organized the first Youth Indaba at a high school. Hundreds of young people and community leaders showed up. The goal was to create a direct dialogue between them and their representatives.

Mpasi called the youth the engine for development, saying they need a voice. A party official, Newton Mkunzwe, said it showed a commitment to empowering young people. The theme focused on including youth in local governance and business. Mpasi told attendees to use the platform to question leaders and propose solutions. He also stressed the need for disciplined discussions.

The event is now planned as an annual gathering. Mpasi's office has already supported some initiatives, like driving lessons and poultry projects for youth. He mentioned partners providing mining equipment, framing it as an alternative to drug abuse, which he combats with sports tournaments. The MP said his door is open for more partners to help with youth empowerment.
