Youth robbed of their future

IT is with a heavy heart that I write about an educated generation whose future is uncertain, its tomorrow has nothing to offer other than stress and confusion.

More than 20 000 students graduate from tertiary institutions in Zimbabwe each year, but the question is: what next after graduation? The unemployment rate in Zimbabwe stands at 80%.

The sad thing is to wake up every morning watching graduation regalia and certificates hanging on the wall.

Can we turn the graduation regalia into prophetic regalia? But again the black colour scares away clients.

We have become a poor nation that is so lost, confused and worried.

It is a shame that there is no interface between graduates and the government. Education certificates have been reduced to mere affidavits which cannot be used when seeking employment.

Moreso companies ask for three to five years working experience. Again the question is: where will you get that experience?

Someone has the guts of lying to the world that 800 000 jobs have been created over the past five years.

As a young generation, we are being robbed of our future, what nature of life are we going to experience?
