Addressing youths on Sunday (today) at the Harare International Airport upon his arrival from youth meetings that were held in Denmark and Netherlands, Madzore said Zanu (PF)'s big brother mentality was fueling political violence.
Madzore, who is facing murder charges, embarked on his first trip out of the country since his release from prison last year after being cleared by High Court Judge, Chinembiri Bhunu .
“We have been looking at each other as enemies for a very long time but as youths we should just see ourselves as Zimbabweans before anything.
The big brother mentality which Zanu (PF) has should stop immediately. There is hope for prosperity if we work together.
“We are happy that a new constitution is on its way and as youths let’s be disciplined as we head for elections,” Madzore said.
In past elections youths who constitute about 70 percent of the population have been used as agents of violence and shields to protect loot accumulated by greedy politicians.
With unemployment at over 80 percent, Madzore said it was important for youths to work together in fighting poverty and rebuilding the economy.
“ We may fight as youths but at the end of the day our problems are the same. Many of us are unemployed despite having relevant qualifications but how do we built the economy when we are always fighting?” he added.
Speaking on the sidelines of the reception Madzore told The Zimbabwean that he had met with youth groups from Denmark and Netherlands on his week-long trip discussing on how youth formations could be organised regardless of ideology and work together ahead of elections.
“ As youths we have an important role to play in healing and fighting violence as the elections are just around the corner. From the discussions we had with other youth wings, I realised that we still have a long way to go.
“ The recent arrest of top human right lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa and MDC-T officials is a cause for concern. We need a peaceful environment before going for elections,” he said.
