The MDC-T Youth Assembly distances itself and dismisses with the utmost contempt the claims made by a rebel group of individuals who decided to invite their friends for a so called “MDC National Council” meeting at a secluded place in the capital, away from the party offices and members.

The Youth Assembly was not represented at yesterday’s social gathering. Solomon Madzore was suspended by the Youth Assembly National Council and Promise Mkwananzi was dismissed from the Party. This move by these rebels come hardly two weeks after Mugabe’s utterances encouraging their rebellion which confirms the suspicion that their cause is a ZANU PF project bent on destabilising the people’s struggle for real change.

These unfortunate individuals just decided to jump out of the real change ship and indeed they will sink into oblivion. They have dug their own shallow graves and are sinking into the political doldrums. The core focus for the leader of the peoples’ party President Morgan Tsvangirai remains on fighting for genuine upliftment of all Zimbabweans.

As young people we will make sure that Robert Mugabe delivers on his promises of 2.2 million jobs and broader service delivery to the citizens of Zimbabwe. The MDC will deliver real change to the people under the wise and undisputed leadership of President Tsvangirai. Nothing will ever distract us from taking action now demanding for jobs, services, quality and accessible education, transparency and better living conditions for all.

Mugabe might be busy brewing decoys, diversions and threats but we will not be distracted. We won’t take threats, we do not eat threats, and we will take action. He is busy fanning disruptive rebellion bent on confusing the masses. We urge all Zimbabweans at home and abroad to remain steadfast and continue to demand what is rightfully theirs.
