MDC Youth Assembly Statement On Current State of Affairs

The MDC Youth Assembly notes with concern at the upside down state of affairs in our country.

From every facet, politics, economy and social life, the nation is in an advanced state of decomposition and decay!

Citizens are faced with a myriad of problems ranging from electricity blackouts, price hikes on basic commodities, death of democratic space, water shortages, hunger and starvation and lack of basic social amenities like health care and education.

While it is important to understand the nature of our problems, it is more important to understand the source of our pain.

There is no doubt that Emmerson Mnangagwa and his looting club are the reason why we are in this hellhole situation.

Literally and metaphorically, Emmerson Mnangagwa and his cabinet or is it club are in an intensive care unit condition and that is the biggest tragedy facing our country.

In the literal sense, the intensive care nature is such critical that Zimbabwe might be on the Guinness Book of Records for having a deathly sick cabinet.

From Sibusiso Moyo, Kembo Mohadi, Constantine Chiwenga, Oppah Muchinguri, Ziyambi Ziyambi to Mnangagwa himself, these individuals have been conspicuously absent from duty thereby robbing tax paying citizens a chance to be served especially at a time when the economy is shrinking.

On a metaphorical sense, it is quite saddening that after stealing the people’s victory in 2018 Mnangagwa surrounded himself with mediocre characters whose political narrative is coiled on corruption, incompetency, lies and treacherous behavior.

Honestly, who in his right mental frame can question and doubt the credibility of the ongoing state sponsored political abductions?

It becomes worrisome when you have a mentally imbalanced and unjust comment from a supposedly Justice Minister like Ziyambi Ziyambi brushing away the on going state sponsored abductions as a mirage.

It is clear that Mnangagwa’s club members can not see clearly what the generality of Zimbabweans are seeing.

Where Zimbabweans wake up to sorry images of abduction victims like, Tatenda Mombeyarara, Blessing Kanotunga and Gonyeti, Mnangagwa’s club members, Energy Mutodi and Victor Matemadanda see otherwise.

Only mentally deranged persons can question the credibility of the sad abductions and torture of citizens that is currently in full swing!

Where citizens see economic comatose, Mnangagwa’s club member, one Mthuli Ncube insult our thinking by saying “the economy is on a recovery path”.

Where Zimbabweans see a drawback to the fascist colonial era, Emmerson Mnangagwa sees a new dispensation!

As an Assembly we are convinced that Mnangagwa’s club members spend more time in hospital than in government offices and that means they are incapacitated.

More importantly we are convinced that if they can not see or feel what normal Zimbabweans see and feel then they are incapacitated due to mental derangement.

While it is regrettable that the ZANU PF political surgeon, Emmerson Mnangagwa does not have any political medication to our economic problems, Zimbabweans should take heart in that we do have an able alternative surgeon whose political medication was okayed by the majority in the 2018 plebiscite.

As an Assembly we are very much convinced that Emmerson Mnangagwa is a man in political turmoil whose medication does not offer any hope in solving the current economic quagmire.

Our prescription to the people of Zimbabwe is a God fearing person who sees and feels the stinging poverty and hunger faced by majority of citizens.

That person is none other than the man who signed the social contract with Zimbabweans at the 2018 general elections, Nelson Chamisa.

As young people, we have a future to protect hence we are going to protest until hunger and starvation desert our door steps!
