THE Zanu-PF Youth League has commended President Mnangagwa
for appointing more younger people into Government, saying the development was
a clear commitment to the inclusive agenda.
In a statement yesterday, Zanu-PF Youth League national
Secretary for Administration Cde Tendai Chirau said the President “lived up to
his word” by fulfilling his promise made during the second national assembly
meeting of the Youth League 2019.
During that meeting, President Mnangagwa promised to
increase the number of younger ministers in Government.
Cde Chirau said by appointing youths into Government, the
President demonstrated his desire to blend old and young generations for the
development of the country.
“The unrelenting recognition of young people by His
Excellency President Mnangagwa’s new government and the new dispensation is an
endorsement of the inclusive philosophy of generational blending where the
young are blended with the elders in charting the developmental trajectory of
our motherland,” said Cde Chirau.
He said the appointments and reappointments of young ministers and deputy
ministers encouraged intergenerational dialogue in solving some of the
country’s challenges.
“The intergenerational paradigm marks a radical changeover
from the traditional one-way perspective whereby only the elderly were
considered for Cabinet posts to a novel two-way paradigm that promotes and
sustains mutual reciprocity between generations,” said Cde Chirau.
He congratulated the ministers, and urged them to discharge
their duties and responsibilities well for the benefit of the country.
President Mnangagwa reshuffled his Cabinet last Friday and
injected more young blood as he continued to show faith in youths.

Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services Minister.
