The Zanu PF National Youth League has commended President Emmerson Mnangagwa for the recent appointments of youthful Ministers and Deputy Ministers.
In a statement, Youth League National Secretary for Administration, Tendai Chirau said, “A special commendation to His Excellency President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa for appointing more Youths as Ministers and Deputy Ministers.
“The ZANU PF Youth League in its entirety from its affiliates, the cell, branch, district, DCC, Provincial and National Structure, expresses its highest acclamation and gratefulness to His Excellency President Mnangagwa for living up to his word by fulfilling his promise made during the 2nd National Assembly Meeting of the Youth League 2019, where he vehemently said, "... I will be increasing the number of Youthful Ministers in Government."
True to his promise, the President appointed Dr. Jenfan Muswere as Minister of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Yeukai Simbanegavi who is now the Deputy Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities and re-assigned Nqobizitha Ndlovu as the new Minister of Environment, Tourism Climate Change and Hospitality Industry.
Chirau added that: “The new assignments include Honourable Tinodaishe Machakaire who was appointed the Deputy Minister for Youth, Sports, Arts and Recreation and Honourable Dingimuzi Phuti who is now the Deputy Minister of ICT.”
Chirau went on to say, “The unrelenting recognition of young people by His Excellency, President Mnangagwa’s new Government and the new dispensation is an endorsement of the inclusive philosophy of generational blending where the young are blended with the elders in charting the developmental trajectory of our motherland. These new developments are a confirmation of the Second Republic’s commitment to intergenerational dialogue.
“The intergenerational paradigm marks a radical changeover from the traditional one-way perspective whereby only the elderly were considered for Cabinet posts to a novel two way paradigm that promotes and sustains mutual reciprocity between generations. To the newly appointed Ministers, we wish you well as you assume and discharge your new responsibilities for the benefit of our beloved motherland Zimbabwe,” said Chirau.
