By Ricardo Dias
Maputo (MOZTIMES) – Arlindo Chissale, a journalist at Pinnacle News and a fervent supporter of presidential candidate Venâncio Mondlane, has been missing since the evening of 7 January in Cabo Delgado. It is suspected that he may have been abducted for political reasons, according to a family source.
Chissale informed his family that he planned to travel from Pemba to Nacala by road, using public transport for a journey of approximately 450 kilometres. He left home in the afternoon, at a time when there were no direct transport services from Pemba to Nacala. Hours later, he became unreachable. The last time he contacted a family member, he reported that he was at the Silva Macua junction, about 80 kilometres from Pemba.
