Maputo (MOZTIMES) – Two days after Daniel Chapo was sworn in as Mozambique’s 5th President, opposition leader Venâncio Mondlane, who continues to claim victory in the presidential election, announced a set of 25 measures referred to as “the first 100 days of governance initiatives.”
Among the announced measures are the suspension of road tolls, a reduction in electricity tariffs, and lower prices for construction materials such as cement. Mondlane went as far as publishing the measures in a “decree” within an informal bulletin called “Jornal do Povo,” a parody of the government’s official gazette, Boletim da República.
Mondlane stated that these measures should be adhered to by everyone, including President Daniel Chapo. Initially dismissed by many, the population’s reaction has since proved otherwise.
