The Zanu-PF Youth League members have buried the hatchet
after attempting to dislodge its leadership last month.
In an interview on the sidelines of a public lecture at
Gweru Polytechnic College last week, Deputy Secretary for Youth Affairs Cde Lewis Matutu said now
was the time for the Youth League to be united and push the socio-economic
development agenda for the development of the country.
Votes of no confidence were passed against some officials
of the party’s national Youth League executive recently, while reports of
similar actions were being initiated in some provinces.
The party’s Youth League passed a vote of no confidence on
its leaders — Cde Pupurai Togarepi, Cde Matutu, secretary for administration
Cde Tendai Chirau, Cde Admire Mahachi and Cde Mercy Mugomo, for allegedly
failing to defend President Mnangagwa, who is the party’s First Secretary.
Cde Matutu said the league members had since moved on. “We
are now united as the Youth League and we remain guided by the party principles
and constitution,” he said.
Cde Matutu said the league embarked on a nationwide tour to
interface with youths and strengthen the party.
“We are holding inter-district meetings with youths in all
provinces,” he said. “As we speak, some members of the national executive are in
Bulawayo, Matabeleland North and Matabeleland South provinces.”
Cde Matutu said the Youth League had postponed the
President’s Solidarity March to a date that will be announced soon.
“There are some events that are supposed to take place
before we hold the youth solidarity march for the President,” he said.
“We will soon announce the new date.” Zanu-PF Secretary for Information and Publicity Cde Simon
Khaya Moyo recently said they have noted with concern the disciplinary
processes being raised against party members without due process and in breach
of the party’s constitution.
Cde Khaya Moyo said a motion to pass a vote of no
confidence should comply with procedures set out under Article 28 General
Provision, Section 265-266 of the party’s constitution. Herald
