A
message to the youth of Zimbabwe
Youth Forum
July 23, 2013
As we get closer
to the
31st of July polls, the Youth Forum gives a vote of confidence
to every Zimbabwean youth who made an effort to make sure that their
names appear on the voter’s roll. Considering the challenges
that accompanied voter registration, registered youth voters have
already done a great job by surpassing all this, thus they cannot
afford to let all their effort go down the drain by not casting
their votes.
It is every
Zimbabwean’s natural right to vote so as the young, vibrant
and enthusiastic group of the society, the youth should speak out
and speak for the rest of the Zimbabweans who do not voice out their
thoughts. They can do this by taking advantage of this opportunity
that has been presented to them. The youth of Zimbabwe should therefore
take part in the issues that will ultimately affect their lives
by effectively participating in electoral processes, as it is the
only way they can voice out their thoughts.
The Youth Forum
encourages the registered youth voters to reaffirm their strategic
position as the political game changers and go and cast their votes
on election day. As they do this, they should do it in peace and
know that there is always an “election after time” when
they need to go back to the same communities and the same people
that they violated because of ideological differences during the
election period.
What all the
young Zimbabweans have in common is that they are all Zimbabweans
who are looking forward to poverty, violence, unemployment and corruption
free Zimbabwe. Therefore Zimbabwean youths should refrain from all
forms of political violence and direct their efforts on making positive
changes in the country.
If you are a
registered voter you can make a difference by casting that vote
in the coming ballot elections. Let us go in our numbers and make
a difference in this year’s elections!
