We submitted a letter to Zec this afternoon requesting information and statistics on youth MPs and Councilors elected in the just-ended election agregated by age, gender, and province. We also demanded that ZEC prioritise youth in their reporting processes to the public.
The first three words in the Constitution of Zimbabwe are the most powerful: We the People of Zimbabwe! (See preamble)
These words declare that the Constitution derives its power not from a president or a court or parliament, but from the people themselves.
