Zimbabwe wants young people to lead and grow the nation. The President shared these thoughts yesterday during a meeting with Collen Malatji at the State House in Harare. Malatji heads the African National Congress Youth League of South Africa. He traveled to Zimbabwe to see how the country prepares for a major youth gathering.
The International Youth Summit on Land and Economic Freedom will be held in Harare from May 23 to 26 this year. Young people from 75 countries plan to attend. President Mnangagwa shared on X about his talks with Malatji regarding Zimbabwe's efforts to help youth access land, build businesses, and participate in the economy.
Malatji asked President Mnangagwa about Zimbabwe's experience with a Government of National Unity from 2008. This question matters because South Africa currently faces similar challenges. Many political parties there have been invited to create such a unified government. According to Malatji, the President expressed joy seeing youth from both Zanu PF and ANC collaborating.
The South African youth leader observed significant progress on land reform in Zimbabwe. On Wednesday, he watched President Mnangagwa distribute farming equipment to youth groups. These young farmers are expected to help restore Zimbabwe as a regional food producer. Malatji expressed admiration for how seriously Zimbabweans approach land issues.
During his visit, Malatji learned about the relationship between party decisions and government actions in Zimbabwe. He appreciated that government officials implemented resolutions made at party conferences. He mentioned planning an Africa Youth Congress alongside Zimbabwean youth leaders. They aim to create a strong organizational team for this upcoming event.
Malatji encouraged Zimbabweans living in South Africa to return home and support their government rather than organizing protests abroad. Taurai Kandishaya, who leads the Africa Youth Congress, reported that preparations are nearly complete. He emphasized the close partnership with their South African counterparts.
This visit highlights the positive connection between youth organizations from both nations. President Mnangagwa continues to champion initiatives that create opportunities for young Zimbabweans. The visiting delegation observed the handover of 72 advanced tractors and 10 combine harvesters to youth farming groups from several provinces.
The agricultural equipment, valued at $7.4 million, was distributed in Hatcliffe, Harare. This action extends the Presidential Youth Empowerment Scheme launched recently. The program focuses on enabling young citizens to make meaningful contributions to Zimbabwe's development journey.
