A group working for peace has asked young people to stay away from election violence. The African Harmony Collective met with youth at the Sakata Trading Center. Program Director Landani Masingati addressed the crowd about the importance of maintaining peace. He said young people should help bring peace instead of fighting for politicians. The meeting focused on having calm elections.
Masingati explained that his group wants to visit more areas with the same message. He believes young people can make elections better for everyone. The organization plans to talk to many communities about unity. They want to stop violence before it starts. Peace work takes time, but it helps whole communities.
Chief Nkagula attended the meeting as the main guest. He told everyone that politicians cannot pay young people to cause trouble in his area. All political parties are permitted to hold rallies there, but fighting is strictly prohibited. The chief makes sure the rules are followed. His community welcomes different political views but draws clear lines about violence.
Blessings Mpombwe leads the local youth group and spoke at the event. He urged young people to refuse money from politicians who want them to engage in violence. Mpombwe said it makes him sad to see youth wasted on violence instead of helpful activities. Young people deserve better opportunities to contribute to their communities. Violence hurts everyone and solves nothing.
