🟦Solidarity is the language of young people📌

➡️We stand unwaveringly with young individuals who are still awaiting trials, bail, and justice. These young leaders are actively promoting constitutional awareness and participating in national issues.

➡️Some were even arrested while visiting their brothers.

➡️We strongly denounce these arrests and the injustices faced by young people, as they foster fear and discourage youth from engaging in matters of development.

➡️We continue to demand their freedom.

➡️We are not the future; we are the present. We believe that our generation is not just the leaders of tomorrow, but the leaders of today. Yet, despite this, we often find ourselves being told that we will have a voice and a chance to lead only in the future, only once we reach a certain age. We do not want to be relegated to waiting until we are 21 to run for public office when we are already capable, informed, and eager to serve our communities now.

🔵Good morning young leaders, today, choose to lead with innovation, humility, and empathy. Your ideas, your voice, and your actions are the driving forces of social transformation. Be the leader who serves others and builds bridges across communities. The future belongs to those who lead with heart and purpose.

➡️Young people in Zimbabwe are calling for youth-friendly reforms ahead of the next election. Currently, constitutional provisions limit their full participation due to age requirements, which also contradicts Section 56 of the same constitution.

🎯Here is a powerful submission from a young person: "Youth on the Bus bring lived experience, not outdated assumptions. We bring innovation, not stagnation. We bring urgency, not complacency."

Stay with us for more youth voices! Feel free to and let your voice be heard!
