President Mnangagwa, has urged all Zimbabwean youths in the diaspora to remain connected and loyal to the country.

Using his popular mantra “Nyika inovakwa nekutongwa nevene vayo” at yesterday’s funeral proceedings of the late Cde Highten Nkomo, the President urged the youths to emulate Nkomo in his patriotism and commitment to the country.

“I also call upon our youth to emulate our departed National hero. Here lies a cadre who opted out of school at a very tender age and sacrificed his life to join the armed struggle in pursuit of National Independence even though he was born and grew up in exile.

Drawing from this kind of commitment to our motherland, I challenge our young Zimbabweans born and growing up in the Diaspora to remain connected and loyal to our great country. You are always welcome back to play your part,” said President Mnangagwa.

The late Cde Nkomo who was awarded National Hero Status and was laid to rest today at the National Heroes Acre, despite choosing to retire to private life, remained loyal, patriotic and committed to the Party and country, always fighting for national interest.

He went on to encourage youths to also reject the various machinations by political opportunists.

“In honor of the sacrifices made by the late Cde Nkomo and other departed cadres, our youth are further challenged to be patriotic and responsible so that they commit themselves to acquiring a good education and working in various ways to develop Zimbabwe.

Our youth in tertiary institutions are urged to resist and reject the various machinations by political opportunists,” President Mnangagwa said.
