There are elements to clarify attack
Minister requires the return of 7 million USD INSS
The
Minister of Labour and Social Security, Victoria Diogo, instructed,
recently, the Director-General of the National Social Security Institute
to recover the value of an investment of more than seven million
dollars, equivalent to 210 million meticais in participation with the company CR Aviation. Ltd, belonging to the president of the Association of Economic
Activities (CTA), Rogério Manuel, according to newspaper Magazine
Independent this week.A
business bad debts from the start and contoured to blend with a big
fraud, the National Social Security Institute (INSS) signed a memorandum
of understanding with the company CR Aviation, a company of the civil
aviation industry to operate one for investment the acquisition of certain aircraft.The
memorandum between the INSS and the CR Aviation aimed at setting up a
partnership in the context of diversification of the investment
portfolio, further to the materialization of the guardianship
recommendation given in Nampula Province to Members of the Board of
Directors, in order to provide support to small and medium-sized Mozambican companies owned by nationals.However,
according to a file of the entire process, held by the Magazine at the
time of the negotiations there were a number of irregularities, since it
does not comply with the requirements established under subparagraph e)
of paragraph 2 of Article 106 of Regulation Compulsory Social Security, approved by Decree No. 53/2007, of
December 3, which states that the INSS values can only be invested in
equity securities quoted on the Stock Exchange.A
requirement that Rogério Manuel firm did not meet at all, but even so,
there was one blind eye and moved up to the memorandum, to then be asked
the requirements for quoting the CR Aviation Stock Exchange of Mozambique as evidenced by the craft 537 / INSS / GAB-DG / 2014 dated September 29, 2014.The
amount invested by the INSS, three million dollars intended for the
acquisition of 15% of the share capital of CR Aviation Ltd; two
million, eight hundred thousand US dollars was the advance to guarantee
entry of the INSS in the Company CR Aviation Ltd, whose aim was the
acquisition of four aircraft in the process of its operating leverage
and the remaining one million and two hundred thousand US dollars were
related to administrative costs, in particular, inspection of 4 aircraft, insurance and maintenance.For
this reason, funding and partnership agreement with the INSS, so that
the latter acquired 15% of shares, is still ongoing, because the CR
Aviation waits for the 2015 accounts closing to start the sale process
of its shares at INSS, in the Mozambique Stock Exchange.Even
before finishing the dossier from the sale of 15% of the shares to the
INSS, Rogério Manuel is selling the last part of their shares to AVS
Investments Ltd without the consent of the INSS, which according to the
composition of the CR Aviation Ltd, furnished to the Bank to which the AVS investments are requesting
financing for the transaction, the INSS does not even appear in the
shareholder composition of the CR Aviation.For
this reason, the AVS Investment company underwent a park bench a
request for funding of investment credit in order, worth over 35 million
meticais, to acquire shares of Rogério Manuel, corresponding to 49%. With
this acquisition, AVS Investment will hold 100% of shares of the
company CR Aviation, Lda. More developments in the newspaper Imprenso

Two analyzes
Nyusi: humility and simplicity
There IS a theory which states that if
you want to know the true character of a certain person, give him power. In
fact, there are two consequences that can occur when granting power to someone,
or remains immutably good person, that becomes an overnight arrogant and
difficult to treat, even towards his old friends.After meeting the humility and
simplicity of Philip Nyusi, most while covering the final stretch of his election
campaign last year, before, so he was elected President of the Republic on 15
October 2014, I notice, with growing satisfaction, that power which holds 11
months ago, did not degenerate in arrogance or the mania known all generally
takes possession of most of those who ascend to power, be it political,
economic, religious or any other nature.Unwittingly falling into flattery,
Nyusi is proving to be, therefore, a great man, because it maintains the same
person as before the power. Have not lost "your child's heart" which,
according to human age-old wisdom, is what engradece and makes men, great men,
and that only very few can keep it when they reach adulthood. Even those who
knew him well in the days of his youth and adulthood have I asserted that Nyusi
does indeed, poverty of others, including that still crushes most of us, his
fellow countrymen. Ensure that when he says he wants to fight against poverty
is not to say that only lip service, as is common among politicians who often
only sing what is not going on the soul so that the poor the Look upon as their
saviors and so can remain in power.Some say Nyusi is clear proof of the thesis
of the great Swiss writer, Stefan Zweig, which states that, in general, every
man that grows in the midst of great hardship and suffering, it becomes a great
man and defender of other greedy. The reprieve that has just granted this
December, a thousand our compatriots who were in prisons is for me one of the
proofs that embodies itself, the suffering of others. The same can be seen in
his visit on the eve of this holiday season, the Wholesaler of Zimpeto Market in
Maputo, for, from there, to urge all the country sellers to not greedily raise
product prices, so they can be accessible to all or at least most of the less
affluent.For large possessions that do not go hungry, or who have never
experienced in life how it hurts hunger and poverty, can see these goings of
Nyusi to markets as evidence that does not know what to do as head of state.
But far from it, are for me the revelation that this President knows himself,
which is to go to bed without having eaten enough or nothing. One must bear in
mind that over 60 percent of about 24 million Mozambicans do not eat enough and
there are many among them who come to spend one or more days without eating
anything. There are many who will transition to the year with nothing to eat.
So it is very important and commendable that Nyusi dedicate part of its agenda
to ensure that this most Mozambicans eat something. It is no coincidence that
the then Brazilian President Lula da Silva, has devoted much of its government
action to fight hunger and is now believed to have been a good president by the
majority of Brazilians. If Nyusi get away with hunger, will have done a great
work to his countrymen, as important as those who liberated us from colonialism
that has denied us the right to own food, which was "per se", the
same as in deny life itself, because who does not eat, he dies.Nyusi know how
hard it is tragic and not eat anything or being poor, because he himself went
through it in your life. Not one of you imagine what hunger and poverty. From
the little I know of Nyusi's life trajectory, convinces me not heard of poverty
- himself suffered from poverty, and the evidence of that is to have made their
TPCs lighting is xiphefu, which in this case is a lamp improvised, or sometimes
even under a public lighting when did his high school in Beira. He himself
never tires of recalling these is that they were indeed difficult times, when
referring to this chapter because it passes together with other colleagues at
the time, as the current Minister of Transport and Communications, Carlos
Mesquita.Although 11 months is very little time to evaluate this man that fate
catapulted him to third Guebuza position after Samora Machel, Joaquim Chissano
and Armando Emilio Guebuza, there is consensus that he remains as humble,
simple and friend of his friends and that boils wanted to see eradicated from
time poverty that still affects the majority of his countrymen. One of the
proofs that it is more than ever predisposed to help their compatriots to fight
against hunger and poverty is to have already started to create material
conditions for Mozambican farmers can make a production with more appropriate
means in respect of which so far used. I mean the parks of machines in order of
Nyusi are being implemented throughout the country with an agricultural
potential.I believe this is a fervent proof of their desire to want to see
hunger and poverty rampant in eliminated Mozambican rural areas. I think these
are issues that sadden and that led him to give his first Report to the Nation,
an atypical outcome that he was proud of what has been done in these 11 months,
but at the same time is still not satisfied. For me it was a happy outcome and
consistent with reality, nevertheless can give the idea of contradiction, as
I have heard some people claiming so. That is, you can not be proud of
something that does not satisfy us. It is possible yes sir to-be proud of what
has been done or is doing still up, but at the same time not being satisfied or
completely satisfied.For the dear reader understand how it is possible to be,
proud of something you did or what you're doing, not being yet satisfied, I can
give the example of the time that Frelimo was fighting against the Portuguese
colonialism. In fact, as the fight progressed, and was adding more liberated
areas, such feats filled with pride fighters, but at the same time could not
they be fully satisfied because they had not yet reached the ultimate goal -
which was the release the country and the people of Portuguese colonialism. Now
all that has been done over these 11 months in which Nyusi is leading, aims,
ultimately, the release of Mozambique's poverty in which almost all still
living. So it makes sense that despite the advances that have been achieved in
these 11 months, and even over the 40 years of our independence, it can not
leave satisfied, while most of his compatriots really suffer from the poverty.I
believe that there is no contradiction in this its outcome. All one is heroic,
can cause you proud even if some gains and fail, because at least succeeded in
trying to do, although it was not successful or completely successful. When we
evoke the memories of our compatriots who heroically died fighting for our
independence, as Dr. Eduardo Mondlane Chivambo and many others do it because
they make us proud for what they did good, but above all because they are the
living proof that we are not a coward but heroic people, despite not having
succeeded in life beat our enemies.One of the most important evidence of this
Nyusi of children's heart is his selfless commitment to the pursuit of lasting
peace for our country. Shortly after taking the helm of the country, Nyusi all
made to meet with Renamo leader, and did so for two consecutive days.
Unfortunately, despite its willingness to reach an outcome with Dhlakama, this
has proved not predisposed to dialogue. Unfortunately still, despite this
predisposition Nyusi to meet with Dhlakama to run out of time with the apparent
political crisis spectrum, there are those who do everything to present the
idea that those who are not collaborating is even President Nyusi. It is
unfortunate that there is this bad judgment Nyusi but not surprised to be
accused of what is not guilty. Even before it made many innocents, including
highlight Nelson Mandela who was kept in jail for 27 long years. It was proof
that in this world there are saints in jail and criminals in the churches. But
the fact is that Nyusi deserves more to be our "Figure of the Year"
and not Dhlakama as already elected some media.

The hope is the people!
This is the last editorial we wrote to
our esteemed readers in 2015. When the journal is in the hands of dear reader,
will miss few hours for the bells announce the New Year.The year ending was
editorially rich in events, but events were, overwhelmingly, not prided to any
common sense citizen. It was a difficult year, so not to forget. We can not
forget the blunders that were being committed, because we run the risk of
becoming pathological as normal, and we move from mediocrity into mediocrity.
It must break.The year ending gets hectic with an electoral coup equal to 1999
and the enthronement, once again, of the votes of thieves, established winners
Numas nuts elections, which should embarrass anyone. We were forced to watch a
degrading spectacle of the Sting agents, with each blaming the other on the
whereabouts of the notices, which, to date, no one has ever seen. Neither Nyusi
himself knows how to win, and perhaps that is why, to this day, does not know
whether the rule is or is to be governed. It is the material coefficient of
illegitimacy.We are required to attend a retired as Chipande without official
indication whatsoever, to go public dictate the cornerstones of governance, as
if he were the guardian of the "boy president," that is, give us to
understand that everything Nyusi says that is just fun, and it should only be
taken seriously if the Chipande say. While Chipande do not, then you are not to
take into consideration.Days after the legalization of electoral Sting, are
collected by a fat inaugural speech on false pretenses, which only took 24
hours for the period of validity expired. In less than 24 hours after it was
announced that would be formed a competent Government and all Mozambicans,
behold, they are called friends, in-laws of former colleagues daughters, nieces
of former creditors, young men which dealt with hours in the campaign and not
to disappoint, the usual friends who were working in several fronts occasion.It
was clear that one could not expect anything but the usual "it was our
time to eat." And that's what you see. There is no initiative to give hope
to the people, let alone collective construction projects of the Republic. A
desert of ideas, with ribbons cuts in markets and opening of scaly fish
machines.And as we face the extent of destroying saga of the previous flock,
there is no interest in clarifying financial crimes as the EMATUM, which
launched the country into the deep end. By the way, it would be like asking a
rapist to choose its criminal frame. Result: no exemplary accountability, we
were reporting severe cases of misuse of public funds and nothing happened to
offenders. Cases like EMOSE are the antechamber of what happens in almost all
public companies, where the notion of public good has been cleared. The Prime
Minister visited all these companies and found that reality, and the only
measure that was taken was to put managers to self-regulate themselves.Civil
War episodes have reached extreme levels. Innocent died. There was displaced
citizens in despair. Schools and health centers were closed. Students were not
examined. The head of the largest opposition party lives hidden in the woods,
as he walks to be hunted by gunmen of the ruling party.Simulate up political
negotiations and is chosen as mediators the most degraded sections of society.
We are entering the New Year without any prospect of peace, reconciliation and
tolerance. On the economic front, the prospects are the same. There is a
generalized increase in prices, with the metical to decline to levels never
seen before. Opting for dubious projects dragged us to this point: projects
such as EMATUM not differ from new and millionaire building of the Bank of
Mozambique, whose purpose so far no one knows.All this is because as a people
we have been adopting an attitude of apathy towards frightening abuses that are
committed. With lack of civic engagement of young people, those who govern
there's nothing left but to issue a signed certificate of collective stupidity.
We must be brave and say "no" when necessary. No one will respect the
people while the people not to assume its role as owner and boss of the land.
The leaders are to serve the people, not to be leaders of the people. If the
civic conscience of every Mozambican awakening, we have a New Year 2016 more
hope, because hope comes from the people themselves. No one better than the
people themselves to decide their priorities. We would like to end this
reflection wishing happy Christmas and a Happy New Year, but we prefer complete
demanding more civic awareness of participation in 2016. We will meet us here
in this very room, in a week, when 6 January 2016, ie New Year. The fight goes
on.

REGULAR TRANSPORT OF COAL TO NACALA-A-VELHA THIS MONTH
Trains laden with coal
will soon be travelling regularly between Moatize, in the western Mozambican province
of Tete, and the northern port of Nacala-a-Velha, the Tete Provincial Director
of Transport and Communications, Romeu Sandoca, has assured. Sandoca said that
everything is ready for the line to move the Tete coal to the new coal terminal
built at Nacala-a-Velha. This port was built from scratch, and faces the
existing Nacala port across a sheltered bay, which is regarded as one of the
best deep water ports on the east African coast.The railway has been built
across southern Malawi, as an alternative to the Sena line from Moatize to the
central port of Beira, which cannot handle the huge amounts of coal expected to
be exported from Tete in the medium term.
The line to Nacala-a-Velha is 902
kilometres long, and was financed by the Brazilian mining giant Vale, which
owns an open cast coal mine at Moatize. The original, optimistic forecast was
that the line would be ready by late 2014.The projections were for about 20
coal trains a day. This will require a fleet of 100 locomotives and 2,700 wagons.
12 ships a month are expected to call at the coal terminal.But the opening of
the new line was repeatedly delayed – particularly because of the damage done
by the floods that hit northern Mozambique in January and February 2015.
However, Sandoca insists that everything is now ready, and the regular
transport of coal between Moatize and Nacala-a-Velha will begin this month.The
first shipment of coal reached Nacala-a-Velha in November – that was when the
line was fully inspected and tested, and shown to be fit for its intended
purpose. Sandoca said the test run was carried out by four locomotives carrying
120 wagons of coal. The line will be used, not only by Vale, but by other
mining companies based in Tete, and who currently use the Sena line. In
addition to Vale, two other companies, both Indian, are exporting Tete coal.
They are International Coal Ventures (ICVL, which bought the coal assets
formerly held by the Anglo-Australian company Rio Tinto), and Jindal Africa. Nacala-a-Velha
can export up to 18 million tonnes of coal a year – which is more than the current
production of all three mining companies combined.SUSPECTED KIDNAP BOSS ARRESTED
The Mozambican police have confirmed the deportation to
Maputo of Danish Satar, one of the men believed to have masterminded the wave
of kidnappings that hit Mozambican cities as from late 2011.The arrest of Satar
was thanks to collaboration with Interpol, which picked him up in Rome in
November. After contacts between Interpol and the Italian and Mozambican
authorities, Satar was returned to Maputo, where he arrived on Friday.According
to a report in Monday’s issue of the independent newssheet “Mediafax”, Satar is
currently being held in the cells of the Maputo City police command. He must
now be presented to a judge to validate his detention. The crime for which he
was arrested is not kidnapping, but “disobedience” – however, “Mediafax”
suggests that the crimes of kidnapping and “private imprisonment” could be
added to the charge, in the light of cases currently in the hands of the courts
and the Public Prosecutor’s Office. Apparently Satar did not know that his name
was on an Interpol watch list. When he and his wife checked into the Rome
hotel, the staff did a routine search, found that he was a wanted man, and
contacted Interpol.The Mozambican police first requested Interpol assistance to
track down Danish Satar in mind-2012, when he was believed to be in Dubai.
According to a report at the time, carried by the independent weekly “Savana”,
the police believed that Danish Satar was a middleman between the kidnappers on
the ground, and the men ordering the kidnaps. One of those men giving the
orders was thought to be Danish’s father, Asslam Abdul Satar, last heard of
living in Pakistan.Asslam Satar was one of the masterminds of the gigantic bank
fraud of 1996, in which the equivalent of 14 million dollars was siphoned out
of the country’s largest bank, the Commercial Bank of Mozambique (BCM) on the
eve of its privatization. The money poured out of the bank into fraudulent
accounts that Asslam’s accomplice, BCM branch manager Vicente Ramaya, allowed
to be set up in the names of members of the Abdul Satar crime family. Key
members of the family, including Asslam, fled the country and thus escaped
arrest.Asslam’s brother, Momade Assife Abdul Satar (“Nini”), and Ramaya were
sentenced to long prison terms for their part in the BCM fraud. By that time,
both of them, plus another of Asslam’s brothers, Ayob Abdul Satar, were serving
sentences for ordering the murder of investigative journalist Carlos Cardoso in
November 2000.A high ranking (but anonymous) police officer cited by “Savana”
said that, during the police interrogations of the arrested kidnappers, Danish
Satar’s name has been repeatedly mentioned. 
“Our investigations indicate that
this young man is the main bridge between the alleged kidnappers and those who
are ordering the kidnaps”, said the paper’s source.The police, “Savana” claims,
believed that Satar negotiated the ransoms to be paid for the release of the
victims, and gave the orders to release them once the money had been paid. The
police searched Satar’s house, in the plush Maputo neighburhood of
Sommerschield, and seized two luxury vehicles, one belonging to Satar’s
brother-in-law.Danish Satar has also been one of those looking after Nini
Satar’s business interests, while the latter serves his sentence. Nini Satar
used to enjoy an extraordinary liberal regime in the Maputo top security
prison, where he had no problem in obtaining mobile phones, and in using
members of his family (such as his sister Rachida, his wife Sheila Issufo, and
Danish Satar) to run his businesses. However, when a major kidnap trial took
place in September 2013, the accused claimed they did not know Danish Satar.As
for Nini Satar, his name too was repeatedly mentioned as supposedly ordering
the kidnappings. Satar denied this, of course, and claimed that he was
collaborating with the police in order to ensure the arrest of the real masterminds
behind the kidnap gangs.Infuriated by such claims, the general command of the
police retorted that “Nini is not helping the police identify kidnappers as
some of the press would have us believe. The sole truth is that Nini is the
boss of the kidnaps, and the police will continue its role in fighting this
phenomenon”.In 2013, prosecutors tried to include Nini Satar in a list of those
accused of the kidnappings. A Maputo judge, Aderito Malhope, ruled there was
not enough evidence to charge Satar.Nini Satar was released from prison in
September 2014, after serving half his sentence for the Cardoso murder. His
early release was justified on the grounds of “good behaviour” in prison –
despite his repeated use of equipment that is banned from prisons, such as
mobile phones. Prisoners on parole are suppose to stay in the country and
report regularly to the court that freed them. But the Maputo City Court –
judge Malhope again – authorized Satar to travel to India for medical
treatment. Once outside Mozambique Satar decided he would like to be treated
elsewhere, and so he decided to fly to London. He should have reported back to
the Maputo Court on 15 April 2015, but did not do so.He is thus a fugitive, and
may well still be living in London – although some of the recent photos on his
Facebook page seem to have been taken in Lisbon, and he has also used Facebook
to boast of regular visits to Monaco.
