ZANU-PF Politburo member Cde Perrance Shiri has called on youths to guard jealously the gains of the liberation struggle.

Addressing hundreds of zanu-pf supporters in Chaona, Cde Shiri took a swipe at the majority of youths for exhibiting ignorance of the liberation struggle.

“We are here as zanu-pf, but our main worry is with the youths who are falling prey to opposition parties’ bait because of their lack of history of the liberation struggle. It is fun that you wear clothes printed Texas, yet you do not know the late Zanla commander, Cde Josiah Magama Tongogara,” said Cde Shiri after a number of youths failed to answer who was Cde Tongogara.

“The land reform was fought for you. Our time will soon be up, but we want to entrust you with this legacy of inheritance that we fought for. They shall never be another war, nor bloodshed because that we have already done.

“What is now remaining is that you have to unite in the name of zanu-pf, uplift each other and be recognised as better people before the whole world. The failures and success of zanu-pf are also yours.

“Some of the economic challenges we are facing are a result of sanctions that were imposed after the land reform programme. MDC was formed by the whites and carried to Tsvangirai who was only a Nyau mask for the British who funded him.”
