Unemployment is the chief factor stimulating the rise in drug abuse, early pregnancies and high crime rate, to fight that, newly formed Security entity, Wingspread Security has trained and employed over 20 youths from Lupane District.
Speaking to BANO NEWS in an exclusive Interview, Wingspread Founder&Director Memory Dube said his company is not stopping and will be recruiting more youths from the area.
"We do have 1 or 2 elders but most of our employees are the youths who are the future and backbone of this country. The issue of drug abuse and crime is on the rise especially here in rural areas, mostly it's because these youths have nothing to keep them busy which is why they end up engaging in these funny activities, so as Windspread we want a better tomorrow for our children and the best way to do that is to keep them busy, give them jobs or take them to school"
"At the moment we have a staff of 22 youths from Lupane District and we are not stopping, we will be training and recruiting more youths from Mat North, Bulawayo and other parts of the country," said Dube
