Maputo (MOZTIMES) – Former presidential candidate Venâncio Mondlane has called for a nationwide protest on 13, 14 and 15 January, coinciding with the swearing-in ceremonies of the elected members of the Mozambican parliament, the Assembly of the Republic, and of Daniel Chapo, declared the winner of the 9 October general elections.
“Monday, the 13th, Tuesday, the 14th, and Wednesday, the 15th are crucial days. These three days are decisive for what the people want for their future. They should be days of national strike. We must bring all activities to a halt,” Mondlane stated, in a live broadcast transmitted over his Facebook page on Saturday night. “We should protest on Monday with placards denouncing the traitors of the people. On Wednesday, the 15th, we must protest against the thieves of the people,” he added.
