Speaking on behalf of Zanu-PF national political commissar Cde Webster Shamu, the commissariat principal director Retired Air Marshall Henry Muchena said it was important for youths to be involved in national affairs.

"Anyone using regalia to commit crime in the name of Zanu-PF will be arrested and sent to prison," he said.
