Zanu-PF youth demand $5 billion for projects ahead of 2018 elections

Addressing a Zanu-PF Manicaland inter-district meeting in Mutare at the weekend, the party’s national youth political commissar, Innocent Hamandishe asked government to give them at least $5 billion for various economic empowerment projects ahead of next year’s general elections. He also said likened the $40 million start-up loan they received under the National Youth Fund (NYF) as 10 cents.

Said Hamandishe:

We need real projects. Someone is saying he is carrying out an investigation, what investigation? When we call for projects for youths, we are not talking about youths selling tomatoes. We need $5 billion, not the issue of 10 cents you are saying and we surely need the money.
