Young people in Malawi have been urged to take politics as a career for a better future of Malawi as statistics shows that youth are not active in the field.
Young Politicians Union (YPU) made the remarks and added that taking part in politics is the only means young people can influence decisions and policies.
In an interview with Malawi24, National Director for YPU Clement Makuwa said time has come for young people in the country to rise above their fears and proactively start taking politics as a career.
Makuwa explained that youth cannot be recognized if they still shun politics.
He further said Malawi’s youth rarely discuss politics and they fare poorly in that aspect when compared to their counterparts from Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia.
“Malawian youth who discuss politics are pegged at 63% while Zambian, Mozambican and Tanzanian counterparts are at 69%, 70% and 75% respectively according to Afro barometer survey.
“This is a worrisome situation as this predicts lack of leadership grooming and sustainability at both political party and individual levels,” explained Makuwa.
He emphasized that the situation is much worse among young women in Malawi and if not addressed the women empowerment campaign shall be a hopeless dream for Malawi, political parties, Southern African Development Community, African Union and at the global level.

Musawanamize achinyamatawa kuti azikhala okangalika pa ndale.Tayambani mwachotsa nkhalambazo kaye m’mipando yononayo ndiye muyikemo anyamata. Mwachisanzo a Gondwe akalamba,a Ntaba ,ndi ena ambiri amene ali m’boma lero ndi nkhalamba zotha ntchito. The majority of these people have been ministers or MPs under the former UDF goverment,then joined DPP under the leadership of Bingu now they are still eating with new DPP government.If you want youths to participate in politics,rest all these nkhalamba and replace them with new blood,the youth.

We can form political action groups that can advocate and create awareness of what politics is all about, a lot of young people do not know what politics is.

Look at de age of president, cabnet ministers, and other political party members. Look at minister of finance, look at when the party is electing regional chairperson. So which youths are you talking about? Thats why Malawi going backwards.

As the youth of Malawi, we really need to come together and take responsibility. The problem is that most of these youth are obsessed with money and therefore they do not succeed in endevours. We need a strong and united political party led by mainly the youth which will be an altenative to the current regime as there is none at the moment. We are here of full support that our nation should not perish at the hands of these crooks who are only in these positions to line their pockets at the expense of the poor majority of Malawians, even at the age of 70… Shame!!
