The Zanu-PF Youth League has said it will expose all
corrupt business institutions, associations and individuals who are prejudicing
the national economy.
In an interview yesterday, Zanu-PF deputy secretary for
Youth Affairs Cde Lewis Matutu said it was time to shame those involved in
shady deals at the expense of the majority.
“As the vanguard of the party, the Youth League cannot
leave President Emmerson Mnangagwa alone to fight the cartels in the economy,”
he said. “We are fully aware of all the corrupt cartels and very soon we will
be exposing the rogue elements.”
Cde Matutu said there were some senior Government officials
and party members crippling the economy through underhand dealings.
“If people are corrupt they have to be known so that they
can be dealt with as soon as possible,” he said. “We cannot leave the President
alone to deal with such cases, yet he has other business to work on. It is our
responsibility as young people to support the move that the President has
taken. We are going to expose those people involved in corruption.”
Cde Matutu called the business community to toe the line in
adhering to Government policy.
“Some business organisations are involved in price madness
as a way of sabotaging the economy,” he said. “Currently, there are artificial
shortages of bread on the market, yet the business community claims to be
patriotic.
“We have individuals who are very corrupt who hve decided
to hold the country hostage and we are going to deal with those people.”
Cde Matutu called on Zimbabweans to be resilient under the
current economic conditions and come up with solutions.
Zanu-PF Youth League secretary for administration Cde
Tendai Chirau said those with multiple farms should surrender them so that the
youths also benefit from the land reform exercise.
He said former First Lady Grace Mugabe should surrender
some of her farms to Government for redistribution, following revelations that
she owns 16 of them.
On his Facebook account Cde Chirau said: “Assuming that
each of the 16 farms has 1 000 hectares, that’s a total of 16 000 hectares
owned by one person.
“The farms should as a matter of urgency be repossessed and
distributed to the youth. For example, if each youth is given at least 10
hectares, a total of 1 600 could have been empowered.” Herald
