“We have to take charge now and help our President building our economy to a middle class in 2020. I told the President at a Youth Interface in Kadoma that we are behind him as the youth and that he should dismiss every corrupt officials in government including Ministers,” he said.

He said it was high time people government departments are taken over by the youth who are in full support of the President’s 2030 vision of attaining a middle class economy.
