By Langton Ncube| Zanu PF youths have said that they wanted 30% stake in the next year’s elections.
According to NewsDay, the party’s youth wing political commissar Godfrey Tsenengamu said for a long time the youths were being used and dumped by seniors in the party.
“Being the youth political commissar, I expect more young people to stand up and take political office in 2018, be it councillors or MPs, in all the 10 provinces,” he said.
“This is informed by the background that youths now constitute the majority in terms of demographics and cannot continue to be in the periphery when it comes to decision-making. I will work flat out to make sure that youths get a third of all elected offices in 2018,”he said.
This also comes after war veterans recently said that they wanted a substantial number of seats in parliament next year.

There should be a minimum qualification to becoming an MP and that should include
1 a proven track record in a paid job or business
2 A minimum academic qualification like two A levels at Grade D
3 A level 3 qualification in public service
4 A pass in a test on DEMOCRACY (Zimbo theoretical test on Democracy designed by Zimbos for Zimbo public service employees)
5 A level 2 qualification on Corruption, its effects on society, methods of prevention, and dealing with it when noticed.
6 A pass in the DEMERITS of GRABBING for citizens who believe in nation building.
Nobody should be able to contest elections unless they already have these simple qualifications.
Kkkkkkkkk kakakakak kekekeke kikikiki kokoko kukukuku the battle lines have been drawn. War vets , youths and army. Dog eat dog . Mahiya was chased a few days ago. There will b gnashing of teeth. Please rovanai pachenyu do not involve us . We want peace.
So you think the president will agree
They expect things to be handed to them and not work for them or earn them. Even Chinoz worked hard and earned the votes in his constituency.
WORK NOT POLITICS SHOULD BE YOUR OBJECTIVE! AM OVER 70 AND STILL WORK BECAUSE I HAVE A PROFESSION, MY EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS ARE IN DEMAND! GO TO CITY HALL TO PROTECT YOUR WEALTH AND NOT TO CREATE IT!!

Tsenengamu must understand that in the Zanu PF system aspiring candidates go through a selection which begins with primary elections. Aspiring candidates submit their names and start contesting from that stage. They must therefore not demand but push as many candidates from their grouping as possible. However the youth and everyone must understand that demographics must not be used to determine ascendance to political office. Rather people must be selected on what they offer. I remember a young girl who entered university at the age of 14 not because she was a girl but because she was a brilliant person. That must be the criteria.
