Youths: beware politics

EDITOR - Tell me whether this unbecoming conduct by our youths has no influence. These youths with biased political zeal - do they know that youth is a defect to be outgrown only too soon? Be aware that political zeal mostly yields misery. Be it this day or tomorrow, just bear in mind that politics has destroyed countless lives.

These youths can worm their way silently in the dark and commit unbearable atrocities in the name of `comradeship`. They can chant political songs and party slogans non-stop. Let me tell them something about violence: It is organised violence at the top which creates individual violence at the bottom. Remember some reputations are as black as charcoal and only belong to the selfish and power hungry war dogs.

“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots, the other is wings.” I am proud to pledge allegiance to the flag and to my country and I keep praying for the Zimbabwean bird`s habitat. – Livison waCharuka, Fishhoek
