60 PEOPLE MOBILISED TO HUNT FOR KILLER SHARK

About 60 people have been mobilized to catch a shark which attacked and killed a woman last Saturday in the Bay of Inhambane in southern Mozambique.The Mozambican Maritime Administration has authorized the operation, and a team of around 60 fishermen, biologists and local officials has been assembled to hunt and kill the shark. The Megafauna Association, an NGO that protects marine wild life in Inhambane, is opposed to the operation. Cited in the independent daily “O Pais”, the Association warns that, even if a shark is caught, there is no way to be certain that it is the same animal which killed the woman on Saturday. It is not even clear which species of shark attacked the woman. The spokesperson for the association, Dalila Siqueira, said that although the lives of human beings are certainly more important than those of sharks, killing sharks is no guarantee that the seas will become any safer. 

There were plenty of cases of beaches in other parts of the world where sharks believed to have attacked people were killed, but shark attacks continued. Furthermore, sharks travel long distances, and there is no guarantee that a shark that was in the Bay of Inhambane last Saturday will still be there now.Nonetheless, the operation to catch and kill the shark began on Wednesday. Six boats using long lines were used. The long lines, familiar from tuna fishing, trail behind the boats, and carry hooks laden with bait. Chunks of fish and of red meat were used as bait – but no shark was caught on Wednesday.If the long lines do not work, nets will be used to hunt the shark. In both cases, it is more than likely that other species of fish will be caught – and not only fish. Long-lining has come under strong criticism for its effects on seabirds. Birds go after the bait, become hooked on the lines and drown.The hunt for the shark could go on for a week, and the estimated cost of the operation is 90,000 meticais (about 2,200 US dollars).Shark attacks are rare in Mozambican waters, and vastly more sharks are killed by human beings than the other way round. Sharks are killed, including in Mozambique, for their fins, which are sold in Asia where they are regarded as a delicacy.

NCONDEZI EXTENDS COMMERCIAL DEAL WITH EDM

The London based company Ncondezi Energy announced on Thursday that it has extended its commercial deal with Mozambique’s publicly owned electricity company EDM for the development of a 300 megawatt coal-fired power station in the western province of Tete. Unlike neighbouring coal projects, Ncondezi is devoting itself, not to exports, but to meeting demand for electricity, using its own thermal coal. It is thus, unlike other mining companies in Tete, not dependent on rail and port infrastructure.The Company is targeting commissioning of the power plant in the second half of 2017 with commercial operations beginning in 2018.Key to these plans is signing a binding agreement with EDM over the sale of the electricity. So far a conditional agreement has been reached – and the extension of this agreement until the end of the year is necessary as Ncondezi has not yet been able to fulfil its obligations.In particular, the company must reach a binding agreement with a strategic investor, confirm the Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) and O&M (operation and maintenance manual) arrangements and reconfirm the projects economics.Ncondezi plans to eventually expand the project in stages to 1,800 megawatts.

BILLION DOLLARS TO BE INVESTED IN ROVUMA BASIN GAS

Total projected investment in natural gas operations in the Rovuma Basin, in the northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado, now stands at 31 billion US dollars, according to Omar Mitha, chairperson of the National Hydrocarbon Company (ENH).Most of this will be consumed in Rovuma Basin Offshore Area One, where the operator is the American company Anadarko.

Speaking at a Maputo press conference launching the celebrations of the 35th anniversary of ENH, Mitha said that about four billion dollars has already been invested and the figure for Area One could reach 24 billion dollars in the coming years. He broke this sum down as 5.6 billion dollars for the preliminary exploration, ten billion dollars for building two gas liquefaction plants (known as “trains”), 3.3 billion for later development studies, 4.4 billion in interest and bank fees, and 2.6 billion as contingency funds.Mitha expected Anadarko and its partners to make the final investment decision in the first quarter of 2016, which will then be followed by financial closure with the sindicate of banks financing the project. He estimated that building the gas liquefaction facilities will take five years as from 2016.The operation will be 55 per cent funded by bank loans and 45 per cent by own capital from Anadarko and the other members of its consortium. That will include ENH which has a 15 per cent stake in Area One. Mitha admitted that ENH does not have the liquidity to pay for its 15 per cent of the investment costs and is looking into options for funding.The investment needs for Area Four, where the operator is the Italian energy company ENI, are much smaller. Mitha put them at seven billion dollars “all supported by financial leverage”. ENH only has a ten per cent stake in Area Four.While Anadarko is committed to building its liquefaction trains onshore, in the Afungi peninsula in Palma district, ENI plans to set up a floating liquefaction factory (FLNG) adjacent to its wells.

“With these investments”, Mitha said, “Mozambique will increase its capacity to export gas, and to develop industry through projects to generate energy, and to produce fertilizers and liquid fuels. This will increase income for the state, create job opportunities, and provide opinions for the provision of services by Mozambican businesses”.ENH is also a partner of the South African petro-chemical company SASOL in exploiting the onshore gas reserves in the Pande and Temane fields in the southern province of Inhambane. Installed capacity here is currently 183 million gigajoules a year. Most of this is piped to SASOL’s plants in South Africa, but 1.5 million gigajoules a year is used in Mozambique.Electricity generated from the Inhambane gas initially reached just 100 households in the northern districts of Inhambane in 2004, but that figure has now risen to 980 households (about 4,000 people). This source of energy, Mitha pointed out, is 40 to 50 per cent cheaper than buying firewood or bottled gas.The Inhambane gas is now being distributed in Maputo and Matola cities and the adjacent district of Inhambane. Initially, the gas is being piped to industries and commercial establishments, but distributions to homes should begin by the end of this year.

2.5 million meticais for albino organs

In Nampula, the abduction of people with lack of pigmentation in the skin dates back to the end of 2014. From December to this part, about a hundred people with albinism was the victim. Some individuals were killed and others are reported missing. 

In connection with these cases, 42 individuals are detained. African healers even pay 75,000 US dollars for a full set of organs of an albino to use them in spells they believe bring good luck, love and wealth. Because of this "game", albinos living in panic in this region of the country. In March this year the United Nations (UN) warned of the attack increased against people with albinism in countries around the southern and eastern Africa because of impending elections in several countries where politicians resort to witchcraft rituals to enhance their chances of coming to power. To learn this harsh reality that continues to sow mourning in Mozambican families,Verdade interviewed relatives of the victims. Of our respondents, we learned that the crime resurgence is due to the ineffectiveness of the police.

The most recent cases occurred in Namina, Larde and Malena in the months of September and October, where a young man disappeared in strange circumstances, and others were killed, including Alfane Anthony and Lydia Carlitos.Segundo Mauritius Carlitos Pedro, brother of Lydia Pedro leaving two children under six and seven years old, this was abducted at his home in the administrative post of Muralelo, Malema district, the dead of night. The victim was taken to a forest, near a cemetery, where he would be murdered. Evildoers drew some body parts cut off from the gut, breasts, teeth, hair, among others. The murderers took advantage of Lydia's husband's absence to kidnap la.Naquele day, according to Peter, his brother did not sleep in your house, but rule out the possibility of this being complicit in the murder of her sister. Lydia was 25 years old and lived in recent days in pânico.Importa noted that our interlocutor and his brother Ricardo Carlitos Pedro are also albinos, and with the kidnapping and death of his sister, they feel threatened. At this time, those citizens are in the city of Nampula.Pedro said the case is being dealt with by the police authorities of Malema, but from that day to this part there has been no development.

In the case of Alfane Antonio, a nurse who was kidnapped and dismembered in Larde, on the 17th September,@Verdade learned that six individuals, one being relative of the victim, detained and a criminal case is following the procedures legal in the morning Angoche.Pela district on 17 December 2014, a young man with albinism, identified by Aid Caesar Augustus, 21 years of age (until that date), disappeared after receiving the invitation of individuals still at large for sightseeing. The fact took place in Mutauanha neighborhood in the city of Nampula, and the meeting place between the victim and the alleged wrongdoers was in Labour Avenue, specifically at the gas station in the area of ​​Faina.Segundo Eduardo Caesar Augustus, the victim's father, the alleged kidnappers had asked his son with promises to employ it in the factory Beers of Mozambique (CDM), which auferiria 15,000 meticais victim's father mensais.O is located outside the city when it was harvested by surprise with the news and tried to report the case in the 1st Squadron, where it was opened a criminal case under number 2857 / PIC / 2014.Augusto said a day after the disappearance of Aid a young man named Elias Martins would have come to your house looking for her son in order to offer you a job. This situation will have drawn the attention of the family, as this individual presented a salary proposal equal to what motivated the disappearance of the victim.

Eduardo Augusto denounced the individual to the police who would stop him. The process for the interrogation of the accused would have been sent to the Criminal Investigation Police (PIC) on 5 February 2015, and was heard on 12 February. The next day (13), the investigating judge initiating the proceedings exarou an order acting that kept the preventive arrest of Elias Martins, but filed the processo.Segundo our interviewee since that day nothing happened. But to his astonishment learned of the release of the accused, allegedly because a lawyer would have required the freedom of it for lack of evidence of their involvement in the abduction of aid Augustus. Elias Martins was released on March 3, becoming fulfill an order recorded by the judge, on 27 February, and only the process was returned to the PIC on 18 March. The accused was not, according to the victim's father, questioned by the police. "The investigating judge is complicit in the abduction of my son. First he exarou an order that kept the remand of the accused, but shelved the process. Why? "Asked Augustus, who added:" He revoked their first order two weeks later, for alleged intervention of a lawyer. He shelved the case because he knew that a lawyer would appear to require the freedom of the accused ".Our interlocutor also said that Elias Martins can not afford to enable it to be a lawyer, then you believe that the mastermind of the kidnapping of his son was who hired the services that profissional.Além addition, our source revealed that already denounced the mastermind of the crime to the police, but they proved to be indifferent. Eduardo Augusto said he has been exposing its concern to the Provincial Prosecutor for months. Dissatisfied with the way you are being treated the case, the citizen made a presentation to the President of the Superior Council of the Judiciary, which was received on 21 August of the current year, but to date has not acusado.É Aid to point out that Augusto is not / was the only son of Eduardo Augusto with albinism.

Abiazer and Pedro Augusto César live in terror because of the wave of kidnappings in Nampula. Abiazer Augusto is 29 years old, is married, but he was forced to change his residence, because I found I was being "hunted" in the area where he lived in the neighborhood of Muatala.O case of Augusto Aid is not the only the archives of the police and judicial authorities in Nampula. Diamantino Antonio Simila is a young man who was born with albinism and therefore suffered an attempted kidnapping perpetrated by a friend of his sister, who only identified by name Ramadane last month of Janeiro.Segundo Simila, everything would have started when the his cellphone rang. Was the call Ramadane, worker KENMARE Larde in which he recommended that join documents to qualify for a job vacancy in Topuito. The alleged infringer would have obtained the contact number by Sister vítima.Dias later Simila Ramadane received a call requesting that he would have with this immediately. The meeting was scheduled for nearby Secondary School Namicopo, Carrupeia neighborhood. Our interlocutor was done to the place where he was asked by Ramadane to go with him to the Nampula Central Hospital, allegedly to donate blood to an albino child who was low and would receive 20,000 meticais.O individual fazia- be transported in a car in the company of two other people who, for Simila, were strange. With the support of popular Simila declined the invitation, despite Ramadane has increased the value for 25,000 meticais. Arrived home, he told his mother what was happening, they tried to report the case to Polícia.Dias later, still in January, Simila took the case to the Provincial Prosecutor, where the attendance of Ramadane would be required, but in absence of the complainant. Simila said he was told the Prosecutor that the offender confessed that he intended to smuggle the jovem.O that worries Simila is that, ware about 10 months, the case has not been any development. "The case is before the Court, but has not yet been called to be heard and when I go there tell me to wait," he lamented.

@VERDADE talked to a young, 27-year-old, who asked not to be identified. She was repeatedly the victim of an attempted kidnapping. The last time this happened was in Daniel Napatima Street, where she was approached by three individuals who were carrying a citizen Corola.A Toyota brand vehicle was in his brother's company and sister, who also were in a car. When she and her sister got out of the vehicle in order to enter the PEP store, he was taken by two individuals who dropped only thanks to the prompt intervention of his irmão.Nos recent days, it has received several messages of threatening. The case is, according to our interviewee, the police authorities. Some albinos have given up school at the risk of being abducted. Sania Muaine, 19 years old, is an example of that. Student who attends Grade 9 Secondary School Namicopo, she was forced to abandon his studies for four months.

Cristóvão Mário Mondlane, Nampula provincial prosecutor, said the wave of kidnappings for people with albinism concerned judicial authorities in the province, hence they were driven mechanisms in order to combat this mal.Questionado on handling cases-crimes received at your institution, Mondlane said that none of the professionals should be appointed as conniving. The delay is due to the procedures that must be followed. Furthermore, the accused never reveal their mandantes.A our source said that until that moment that gave the interview toVerdade, were arrested 42 individuals, two of which would be returned to freedom because it was proven that they were not involved in crime . In connection with this type of crime, the prosecution would have instructed 22 criminal cases, with the first case being tried took place last Wednesday (14), but had desfecho.Num another development, Mondlane said the alleged criminal "hunt" people with albinism and, after murdering them, seeking customers; so when are challenged can not tell who the principals, saying that "I personally making me spend per customer was already owns eight individuals who came here looking for a buyer" .The Albinism is a congenital disorder characterized the absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes due to a deficiency in the production of melanin in the body. In some cases, the disorder also causes vision problems. "People with albinism are among the most vulnerable in southern and eastern Africa," said Ikponwosa Ero first specialist human rights in UN albinism in a statement. "Today, the misfortune of them have been compounded by the constant fear of attacks by others - including family members -. who value the parts of their bodies more than their lives "Healers Africans pay as much as 75,000 US dollars (about 2 5 million meticais) for a complete set of organs of an albino, according to a report by the Red Cross, to use them in spells they believe bring good luck, love and wealth.

Rip contracts and there is no liability

The government is about to pay 80 million USD to compensate the Indian company Rites and Ircon International (RICON), which rehabilitated the Sena railway line and held a concession for its operation. The contract with the Indians was broken unilaterally by the Maputo executive when the Tete coal was again lust for multinationals worldwide. After ripping the contract, the Mozambique Railways resumed control of the line but today saw eh fully operated by Vale. CFM only charge a rent sentadinhos in their offices. After he saw the torn contract, the Indian company took the case to a tribunal outside. Initially demanded 200 million USD. The Government managed to negotiate to reach an agreement around 80 USD. This week, Maputo attended the meetings between the two parties, where our Government also tried the Indian lower their ball. In vain. There are two similar cases in the table. One involves the Muyake, a consortium held a concession for a logistics project at the Port of Pemba (not I detail about the case because I wrote about it here). The treasure is preparing to release 8 million to pay the first tranche of compensation to which the Government was convicted after a Maputo court has given reason to Muyake. Another case, even without sentence, relates to the infamous project of light rail in Maputo. The deal had been concessioned to an Italian firm, but when Mussumbuji of Mussumbuluko Guebuza sniffed each fittings, joining a Chinese group, the government tore up the contract with the Italians and offered the pan to the former head of child group , including attaching the technical projections that the Italians had done. Within weeks, the outcome of this case will be known. My sources say the government has no way to escape a big buck indeminização. Ghosts of guebuzismo !!! The eh whoever pays problem, after the cable is the pocket of the taxpayer. And then are teachers and nurses who are left without salaries, etc. And no one blamed when eh eh clear evidence that the breach of contract has not been innocent ……… (M.Moce.in facebook)

This year, 19 October had the particularity of being marked with a new president in office. Unlike their predecessors who ruled the country since the occurrence of the disaster Mbuzini, Filipe Nyusi did not resort to the usual rhetoric of false VOR, the endless investigations in sight, the tireless efforts to unravel the mystery, etc. 

Not Nyusi, or other intermediate or lower-level entity.

Raimundo Maico Diomba, governor of Maputo province, who was representing the Mozambican state in ceremonies held in Mbuzini. From his speech, it shows only the exaltation of Samora Machel figure.The Machel family reiterated the long-held position, but now without the official support.

The Government has the investigation process still running. Lately we have no any report on how it is happening, what's been done. We are still in the dark about the results of the investigation. As a family we want this to end as soon as possible, because it will also bring us peace in knowing what happened to our loved one. We know internalize, we'll live with it for the rest of our lives. Not only the family, but the people too. It's just knowing what happened to Samora Machel and his companions. "

MINISTER PROMISES CRACKDOWN ON ACADEMIC FRAUD

The Mozambican Minister of Education, Jorge Ferrao, on Wednesday declared “zero tolerance” of academic fraud.He was reacting to the latest cheating scandal, concerning the 12th grade extraordinary examinations held in August. An investigation into 43 of the country’s 200 public secondary schools confirmed that cheating had taken place in nine schools, involving 407 pupils.Cited by the independent television station STV, Ferrao said there had been far too much tolerance of cheating in the past. “Over the years, it has become the practice to accept that exam secrecy is violated and that the process is falsified”, he said.

In those schools where fraud was detected this time, “the finding is that these schools have been permissive”, he said. “This is something which makes us, as a Ministry, very sad. We look fraudulent, and we do not deserve this”. If the Ministry were to take no action, he said, it would be deceiving the pupils’ families, their future employers, and society as a whole. A school certificate should show employers what a student is worth –“but when we send him into the world of work, we find that he has difficulties. That’s a whole chain of investment that has failed”.The general inspector of the Education Ministry, Quiteria Mabote, said that, whereas in the past students might smuggle the answers to exam questions into the examination room scribbled on a piece of paper, nowadays they use mobile phones.There were strong indications of cheating, she said, since there was no other reasonable explanation for students in a class answering in exactly the same way to exam questions, and thus obtaining exactly the same high marks.For this to occur, the chain of exam secrecy must be broken, and Mabote admitted that the Ministry does not yet know where the leaks take place. “If we knew how the exams are leaked, we would staunch the evil at its root”, she said. “We take every measure to prevent material from being leaked, but even so, leaks happen”.She guaranteed that the Ministry would look at all 12th grade students in the schools affected, and those who were not involved in cheating will receive their exam results. Also on Wednesday, Ferrao announced that the Ministry expects to enrol about 1.32 million pupils in the first grade of primary education in 2016.At first sight, this figure seems surprisingly high. The age at which children should enter primary school is six, and projections from the 2007 population census suggest that there are no more than 780,000 six year olds in the country.But, according to education officials contacted , many parents do not enroll their children in school at the right age. This means that many of the children who will step inside a school for the first time in 2016 are seven or eight years old, or even older.Ferrao gave the figure for first grade enrolment at a ceremony where a memorandum of understanding was signed with the Portuguese embassy for support in the training of education staff. He said that the Ministry has been hiring around 8,500 new teachers every year, to ensure good quality education.But the country remains short of teachers with adequate educational training. The Ministry, Ferrao said, had therefore began to cooperate with Brazil to train the instructors who will work at Mozambique’s 24 teacher training institutes.

He hoped that, under the new memorandum of understanding “we will have more teachers trained in Portugal”.
