Kadoma – YOUTHFUL businessman and former Affirmative Action Group president Chamu Chiwanza on Wednesday donated ZWL20 000 to the Zanu PF youth league at the Zanu PF National Youth Convention that is currently underway here, reports Philemon Jambaya in Kadoma.
The funds will be channelled towards funding youth start-ups.
Chiwanza said the gesture was meant to assist youths who have an entrepreneurial flair and ideas for business start-ups.
“I am very passionate about entrepreneurship, and the funds are meant to assist young upcoming entrepreneurs to pursue and fulfil their dreams.
“I started business as a young boy, and I applaud government policies on youth empowerment.
“The future lies in the youths and my focus area is empowering other young people in the small way that I can.
“During my stint as AAG president, I made sure there was youth participation and empowerment,” Chiwanza said.
Zanu-PF First Secretary and President Emmerson Mnangagwa is the guest of honour.
The convention provides youths with an opportunity to interact with the President and share ideas on how Zimbabwe can be developed.
The interaction also provides an opportunity for youths to appreciate and exploit economic opportunities at their disposal.
All provinces are being represented at the convention and thousands of youths have braved the hot weather to attend the gathering.
