Zimbabwean youths have expressed different views over the celebration of the Robert Gabriel Mugabe Day with some saying it was improper to idolise a leader who authored the current economic difficulties through poor leadership.
The country this Friday commemorates a day that coincides with the ex-leader’s birthday.
MDC national youth leader Obey Sithole said they did not recognise the day as its inception was just a measure taken by Zanu PF to idolise its former president.
“The purported youth day remains inconsequential to young people like us especially those aligned to MDC. It is just a day set aside by Zanu PF to idolise one man.
“We already have a very fantastic day that is meant and set aside for the youth because they are playing a very pivotal role in nation building the world over and that day is the 12th of August.”
