i cant

young people have no business in the law-making process. that comes from age and experience. i will never understand this - vote in a president, all african governments support him, but the people seem so unhappy yet he KEEPS on being president. weird weird weird

It is unfortunate in Zim and other African countries,children and youths pay the prize of our leaders' lack of vision and political manipulations.When shall the voice of African children be heard and taken seriously by those who murder the future.Children parliament has become one way of seeking public attention by the leaders and at the end,their attitude remains the same.Poor African leadership has fail to enhance the capacity and grantee the future of children and youths.

Sad to say that the murderers of the children are those who create them for they they can't feed themselves but they bring these children into the world. This is natural selection of humans. In order to change things there are two options - get rid of the rich and enterprising who may be evil but will eventually die or stop having children. The means to do so are there and if they don't choose to use them then the parents themselves must take responsibility and explain to these children that as parents they were irresponsible for bringing them into a world where there were dwindling resources when there was a dictator who was smart enough to take it all for himself. When government leaders start encouraging their people to stop having endless children when resources and skills are non existent and reserved only for those who have and set the example themselves by showing these people how to live more simply and how one and one actually doesn't just make 2 but can lead to a multitude of starving children... Teach the children why they have nothing by comparison with First World countries and those who have. They have the land and it used to be able to feed the people so why doesn't it do so now? Because of African capitalism and belief that white people stole something from them and owe them something. This is generalising to an extent and seemingly unchristian in attitude but it is the bottom line. Blame your parents for having you when they had no idea how they were going to feed you. Tough LOVE

It is very unfortunate that the youth of today is not taken seriously.We are the future leaders of tomorrow and I believe that we should be involved in many decision making policies because the youth suffers the most in the end. We have much better leadership skills and capabilities than today's African leaders. It has just become about the leadership structures than the people that they are supposed yo serve. It is a sad situation as we the youth have to suffer and just be told that we are not old enough to understand..times have changed!

When these kids that do the complaining land up in government they will do the same to the kids of tomorrow. In Africa it just goes round and round

The young and the aged have equal rights to voicing their opinions - there may be a few aspiring politicians that want to make the changes and this looks like a good place to start!!

It's time for Mugabe to go. He is filthy rich while the people of Zim are starving but still there's people supporting him. It's mind boggling. What are the chances of these children living a good life having a job. Let us pray for them.

@Andre: l totally agree with you mate; who cares about anyone in Zim right now, the Kids may sit their parliaments and voice their concerns until they turn 'blue' in the face,no one will listen even if they do with the power sharing deal heading for a total collapse 'kids' are just but a nuisance to government. Lets pray for them indeed.

These children are an example to the trillions of zimbabwean 'economic migrants' in south-africa to go back and vote/fight mugabe out of power!

I pray that these kidz learn from these oldies and grow up to become responsible politicians and may the world see what is happening in this country and may they also understand that these children are the future for tomorrow if you dont help your neighbours child you will cry foul tomorrow when they start stealing from you. why are we forsaking these innocent souls I believe there something other countries can do. Remember these pple came to SA during WENELA days to help build this country?AFRICA ARISE!

Its all because of Sovereignty who to be blamed, Mugabe, Western Institutional Influence in the teritories of Africa. However, lets refrain from propagating these Children rather wait a moment Mugabe Dies and that shall set Zimbabwean Humanity Free from the Evil Zanu-PF

@pawsaw. Great comment which should be read out in Zim parliament. Best bumper sticker ever reads"You breed '
em ....You feed 'em"

imagine if south africans during apatheid had decided to stop reproducing children just to spare them the terror of being oppressed, today SA would be full of whites only because of as pawsaw puts it "natural selection ".pepo of Zim , i urge u not to give up , u'v come this far. learn from the south africans ,apartheid did not last forever, Mugabe and Zanu are not going to last forever.
