12 • • They do not believe that Zimbabwe is approaching any form of social justice, and indeed see a marked deterioration in social and economic life; They do not support the National Youth Service programme, and see the service as partisan and serving only the interests of ZanuPF. So we clearly are dividing the youth in Zimbabwe into two camps. There are those who have been subjected to the indoctrination programme of the government, whether formally under the National Youth Service scheme, or informally through induction into violent political campaigning at one of the bases. This group basically identifies with the values of an older generation, and operates under the control of this older generation.

The government will need to implement a programme to rehabilitate militarized youth, and this will not be a simple task when
