YOUHS should guard against being used by greedy some political leaders to engage in violent activities, Patriotic Front Eastern province chairperson, Andrew Lubusha has said.
Mr Lubusha urged young people to avoid politicians and civil society organizations with hidden agendas.
He warned that that some politicians were in the habit of using youths for violent activities while their own children were busy with productive things.
Mr Lubusha advised the youths to reject individuals who want to use them for their selfish gain.
He said young people with political ambitions should work with politicians that want to build and not destroy their lives.
Mr Lubusha said there was nothing wrong with youths having political ambitions but that they should be wary of the people they associate with.
“There are some politicians who want to take advantage of other people’s children by sponsoring them to do evil activities like violence.
They can not allow their own children to do what the sponsored youths do, this is very bad and that’s why I am asking the youths to reflect on this as they celebrate Youth Day,” he said.
And Mr Lubusha advised the youths to champion the fight against Covid-19.
He said youths must educate other people about the dangers of Covid-19 and importance of abiding by the set preventive measures.
And the Zambian DNA says whatever people do in whatever capacity, must be about service that adds value to the welfare of people.
“This is the clarion call especially to those aspiring to be in the leadership of our country at all levels.
Leaders must put the interests of the people first before self as President Edgar Chagwa Lungu has demonstrated over the few years he has been in office,” Zambian DNA spokesperson, SPuki Mulemwa said.
Mr Mulemwa says leaders were expected to preach the message of unity, peace and love as anchored in our national motto of “ One Zambia One Nation “.
