Lunguzi has urged youths to go for leadership positions.

Speaking to Catholic youths in Mwanza district on Sunday, Lunguzi said the youths must fight to become the country’s leaders.

“No one can give you leadership positions, you need to claim your space in leadership and it starts now,” said Lunguzi who is a member of the Malawi Congress Party.

Concurring with Lunguzi, Archbishop of Blantyre archdiocese Thomas Luke Msusa advised young people to use their skills to bring change to Malawi.

Msusa disclosed that Malawi’s leadership can be changed once the youths take voting powers seriously.

The archbishop added that the youths must restrain from being used by politicians.
