Zanu-PF First Secretary and President, Cde Mugabe’s meeting with youths in Mashonaland East Province has been moved from Saturday to Friday because the President will be having engagements elsewhere.

Zanu-PF Youth League secretary and Politburo member Cde Kudzanayi Chipanga yesterday confirmed the development.

Cde Chipanga said the meetings were now dubbed “Provincial Youth Interface Meetings”, as the youths would be afforded an opportunity to interact with the President. Cde Chipanga said preparations for the Marondera meeting had reached an advanced stage.

Mashonaland East Province has already held a provincial inter-district meeting in preparation of President Mugabe’s visit. President Mugabe is expected to visit other provinces, with the Manicaland meeting set for June 16.

From Manicaland, President Mugabe’s next destination would be Masvingo. Cde Chipanga said during the meetings, President Mugabe would have an appreciation of challenges facing youths.
