JOB CREATION IN ZAMBIA - BY CORNERSTONE VOICE OF THE YOUTHS ZAMBIA DIRECTOR
TIME TO LOOK SERIOUSLY INTO OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM SO THAT WE DON'T FOCUS ONLY ON CHILD REMEMBERING EVERYTHING TAUGHT AS A INTELLIGENT CHILD BUT THE ABILITY TO BE CREATIVE ASWELL AS ABILITY TO BE PRODUCTIVE.
In the midst of demand for more food supply in Congo DRC and vastness of the farming land in Zambia we are witnessing Youths lining up in a near stampede situation for a one month job Census.
We have Cooperatives expecting to get empowered i just hope the Youths will utilize the CDF empowerment to create jobs for themselves. We recently saw more Youths clinging to the booths making the City looking dirty in the name of surviving, Zambia is literally failing to meet the demand of food supply in Congo DRC while Youths in Zambia can utilize the current situation and become business empires. But ooooh wait a minute just few weeks ago value addition agriculture outputs Peanut Butter was sized at Kasumbalesa border post by authorities which at the end of the day brings about fear to capitalize on the doorstep opportunity to supply food to our neighboring countries, My appeal to the New Dawn Government is that we can bring back National Service to start Producing large quantities of value addition agriculture outputs to supply to open market which is readily available Congo DRC. Each Provincial camp can employ up to 10,000 Youths to produce all types of food stuffs depending on the Province's ability to produce. The camps may include milling plants, food and beverage Process plants in all the full Production can have different departments starting from plowing, seed, wedding, watering (where position) harvesting, processing, packing and supply.
My assumptions are that these workers from these Production and Supplying camps may have similar salaries like those in the mines wages can even be more than those Chinese mines wages. Youths on their own can only create jobs just to eat very few can even build from their independent businesses.
Hope it reaches out to the President
