@TichZindoga I have always talked about generational consensus, the third force& the need to equip& empower the young people. I remember raising the issues with @Hon_Kasukuwere when he was the Indigenisation Minister. We had met in Mt Darwin at a funeral for Kasukuwere’s sister.
I told him that we don’t want poor leaders& there is need for young people to be empowered. Generational consensus has always been there. It’s nothing new. The very current leaders from Nkomo, Mugabe, Mnangagwa, Mutasa, Muchinguri, Mujuru are products of this same factor.
They stood as young people to fight to liberate this country.
Each generation should defend itself and advance its agenda within the confines of the founding values of the country& the constitutional pathways. It’s normal, expected and important.

There is no one who can plan for the future except yourself. What is dangerous is an emotional transition that is unplanned& erratic. It does not go well. We must protect the legacy of this country. The orientation of nationalism for Zimbabweans is important.
The abiding agenda is about a better Zimbabwe.I envisage a situation where young leaders take over. Chamisa, Kasukuwere, Mahere, Ostallos, Anastacia Ndhlovu, Linda Masarira, Tsenengamu, Prince Sibanda, Tinotenda Mhungu, Mugwadi, Matutu, Tatenda Mavetera, Cecilia Chimbiri...
...Yvonne Musarurwa, Joanna Mamombe, Enock Porusingazi, Langa, Sarah Mahoka, Tendai Biti and yours truly, to name a few.
With such calibre of politicians all I need is to be the Commissar. I love to mobilise& to be with the people. Anybody else can have any other position I simply need that position. Kasukuwere, Chamisa will all concede to how I love to mobilise and be with people.
It’s just a thought I have about this country, such young politicians taking over and pushing things ahead. This will be done with the full understanding that at some point another generation will also come up and will have to come in and take over.
It’s about passing on the baton stick. Madhara aya aripo are very tight and close-knit. You can never get into their circle. However they should be comfortable with conversations about passing the baton and transitions.
The point is not about the young people coming in to destabilise things but bringing in new capacity. Transitions have to embraced and not feared because they are inevitable whether people want or not. It’s a fact of life.
