Zhuwao says unemployed graduates who played soccer in protest need exorcism

Speaking at a recent graduation ceremony at Kaguvi Vocational Training Centre, Youth and Indigenisation minister Patrick Zhuwao said graduates who played soccer on the streets in protest of President Robert Mugabe’s failure to create jobs are possessed by demons that need to be exorcised.

Zhuwao said,

We have seen on social media, graduates selling food and playing soccer in (Harare’s) First Street while wearing their academic regalia. If you are that type (selling firewood and playing soccer in streets) then traditional beer should be brewed for you to be exorcised because you would be possessed by demons. You also need to be exorcised by prophet.

He also said that the graduates lacked entrepreneurial skills that they can use for job creation. The minister also encouraged youths to apply the knowledge and skills acquired at school for job creation and self-employment.
