National Youth Service Set To Begin In June 2024

The Youth Service in Zimbabwe, formerly known as the National Youth Service (NYS), is scheduled to begin in June 2024. It will enrol 750 youths from across the country.

Jenfan Muswere, the Minister of Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services, made this announcement during a post-Cabinet briefing in Harare on Tuesday, April 2nd.

Tino Machakaire, the Minister of Youth Empowerment, Development, and Vocational Training, briefed the Cabinet on the re-establishment of the National Youth Service Programme.

Muswere said since the Cabinet’s decision in 2021 to revive the National Youth Service program, the Ministry of Youth has achieved several milestones, including:

  • The National Youth Service Bill is being drafted following the approval of the Principles in August 2023;
  • Establishment of an Inter-Ministerial Implementation Committee to oversee the implementation of the programme;
  • The development of a 6-month training programme that will target youths between the ages of 18 and 35. The programme, which covers 3 months of institutionalised training and 3 months of community attachment, will commence in June 2024 with an enrolment of 750 youths nationwide. Those who undergo the training will be issued with certificates on completion of the programme;
  • The new curriculum will infuse national orientation with life skills training and entrepreneurial development;
  • New uniforms, signage and logo have been designed and will be registered;
  • All production units are expected to fully utilise available land and engage in commercial production units for self-sustenance; and
  • A total of 10 000 youths are earmarked to undergo training in 2024. The youths will be drawn equally from all the country’s ten provinces. The recruitment will be cascaded to incorporate youths in all wards and districts;
  • The National Youth Service Programme has been renamed Youth Service in Zimbabwe.

Muswere said in the future, young people who complete their training will be given priority in employment and enrollment in the public sector, higher education institutions, and tertiary education. Additionally, they will receive prioritization for financial support to establish new projects and businesses.

The Youth Service in Zimbabwe has faced severe criticism both within Zimbabwe and internationally. Graduates of the service were derogatorily referred to as “Green Bombers” due to their fatigue uniforms and the violence they perpetrated.

It was associated with gross human rights violations on behalf of the ruling ZANU PF party. Participants received some form of military training and were indoctrinated with absolute loyalty to ZANU PF.

They were allegedly involved in torture, harassment, and intimidation of political opponents, especially in rural areas.

Is this an attempt to build an army outside The Genarals Army? Ten thousand in one year? How many troops does the Zimbabwean Army have? This Is a militia in the making. i.e Jonas Savimbi .Zimbabweans must prepare for the unthinkable. All this now that oil and gas has been discovered In large quantities In Muzarabani? Hmm. I smell a big rat. To make matters worse the guy Machakaire couldn't even ensure we have a CAF certified soccer venue or even plastic bucket seats at the national sports stadium now wants us to believe he can guide our youth? Just listen to their press briefing. Both Machakaire and Muswere speak brocken English. Vane ma degree ekupihwa. Hapana ane kana chikoro apart. Just listen. These two and their evil cohorts (read Illuminati) won't succeed

THE PROGRAM IS LONG OVERDUE. A YOUTH WITH THE RIGHT IDEOLOGY IS A NATIONAL INVESTMENT. AS I ALWAYS SAY, ZANUPF IS TOO STRONG TO BE OVERTHROW BY THESE PUPPETS. COME 2028 THESE YOUTHS WILL BE CAMPAIGNING FOR ZANUPF AND IT BE ONE WAY THROUGHOUT. I PERSONALLY SUPPORT THE PROGRAM. VIVA ZANUPF. SOME YOUTHS GO ASTRAY BECAUSE THEY LACK POLITICAL EDUCATION THEREFORE ITS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

If this youth service serves as a prerequisite for civil service employment, Zimbabwe is doomed. This is state capture in the making. For Strategic Ambiguity, let's the youth go, however let's always teach them the right things not the Zanu pf brainwash.

We deeply encourage our youths to grab this opportunity to serve this country with a distinction and purpose. Patriotism is key. National security is everyone's concern.
