in the August 2016 elections.
The Zambia Youth Workers Association (ZYWA) has urged youths across the country to turn up in large numbers and vote yes in the referendum on 11thAugust,2016.
In a statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka today, ZYWA Vice President Teddy Nyasulu said that the Bill of Rights is a progressive and cardinal piece of legislation one as it considers the rights of youths and provides young people with prohibition of engaging in unproductive things.
“ZYWA is very happy that under Article 49,the bill of rights provides that youths have rights to personal development, participation in governance, and access to gainful employment’’, Mr. Nyasulu said.
Mr. Nyasulu stated that government’s tireless effort of ensuring that the bill of rights provides for youth participation in the social economic, political and cultural affairs of the nation need rewarding through a YES vote.
He urged young people to take interest in the voting process in the referendum and chart the way for their personal and collective development.
The few rights we have have caused problems in schools, marriages and on the street. Why need more. JUST VOTE NO if you know what you are doing.
We are telling the Youth we keep to VOTE NO. We are all suspicious about this referendum which is being done in a hurry by deceitful politicians. They are not giving enough time to the citizens to fully appreciate the issues. We do not want what happened with the Constitution where people were supporting things they did not understand! Once beaten, twice shy!
Zambia Youth Workers Association (ZYWA) are as ignorant and as naive like everybody else! Who can they advise. They should just get the money and do a WATERMELON! African Politicians are very deceitful and manipulative. When you see them rushing something, just be on the alert and the best to be alert is to refuse to be rushed! VOTE NO ON THE REFERENDUM. We need to be careful!
I don’t trust Lungu so I wont even vote for the Referendum question. My priority is to cast my vote for HH to get rid of Chokolwa tyranny. Forward with HH,GBM & UPND.
