SUBJECT: Mozambique: June Socio-Political Digest 
 
 
1. This is a summary of significant socio-political 
developments in Mozambique that occurred during June 
2007.  We provide it as a supplement to our other 
reporting. 
 
--  Provincial Elections Scheduled for December 20, 2007; 
Election Process Moves Forward 
 
--  Recent Increase in Crime Rate Viewed as Proof of 
Ineffectiveness of Guebuza Government 
 
--  3 Children, 5 Soldiers killed in two separate 
Malhazine-related Munitions Accidents 
 
--  Former RENAMO Deputy Defects to FRELIMO 
 
--  Police Beat Lawyer 
 
Provincial Elections Scheduled for December 20, 2007; 
Election process moves forward. 
------------------------- ---------------------------- 
 
2. Against the advice of senior electoral civil servants, 
December 20th has been set as the date for the first 
provincial assembly elections. Analysts view the December 
20th date as very difficult to achieve since the 
oversight group (CNE) must set up election commissions in 
all provinces and districts and register the entire 
Mozambican electorate within days after the country is 
set to complete its first population census since 1997. 
An additional potential complicating factor is that 
December is well into the rainy season. 
 
3.  The Mozambican government (GRM) estimates that the 
elections will cost approximately $44 million of which 
the GRM is able to provide $12 million.  Donors have been 
asked to pay the balance, but largely due to questions 
concerning the feasibility of organizing the registration 
and election process, no donors have yet offered 
financial assistance. 
 
 
Increase in Crime Rate Viewed as Proof of Ineffectiveness 
of Guebuza Government 
------------------------ --------------------------------- 
 
4.  Despite official government statistics noting a 
decrease in crime during 2007 compared with 2006, a 
recent spate of well publicized crimes has led to 
criticism of the current government. Some of the crimes 
reported in the past several weeks include: a gang 
attacked a police station in Matola city and robbed a car 
that the police had seized earlier that day; criminals 
stole AK-47s from the police and used the weapons to 
steal $40 thousand from a bank in Matola city; and 
unknown persons shot and injured two policemen responding 
to the attempted robbery of a cell-phone store. 
 
5. The inability of the government to deter crime, along 
with the increasingly violent nature of the crimes, is 
viewed by some as proof that current government policies 
have been ineffective. In response President Guebuza has 
made several public statements and visited the Ministry 
of Interior and several police stations in Maputo city. 
Interior Minister Pacheco noted the criminal activity had 
terrorist characteristics that resembled a war and called 
for a similar police reaction, in which elements of the 
Mozambican armed forces (FADM) would begin patrolling the 
areas in and around Maputo City with regular police 
officers. Despite these actions, there appears to be 
public doubt that the Guebuza government has the ability 
to control crime. 
 
 
3 Children, 5 Soldiers killed in two separate Malhazine- 
related munitions accidents 
------------------------ -------------------------------- 
 
6. The death toll from the March explosion of the 
military ammunition dump located in the Maputo 
neighborhood of Malhazine continues to rise.  In two 
separate incidents three teenagers and five soldiers, 
including one South African, were killed.  The teenagers 
died when they struck a buried munition while playing in 
the yard of a home.  The FADM immediately began another 
search of the area to locate other buried bombs; experts 
believe many more munitions are buried, serving as a 
hazard to all in the area.  The five soldiers were killed 
when an explosive detonated unexpectedly during routine 
 
MAPUTO 00000780  002 OF 002 
 
 
destruction of remaining munitions. 
 
 
Former RENAMO Deputy Defects to FRELIMO 
--------------------------------------- 
 
7. The former parliamentary deputy of Mozambique's main 
opposition party, RENAMO, has defected to the ruling 
FRELIMO Party. Cristovao Nhacatete had been a RENAMO 
activist since 1991. He was a RENAMO delegate in the 
Sofala district of Chemba from 1991 to 1999, when he was 
elected to the country's parliament, the Assembly of the 
Republic. 
 
 
Police Beat Lawyer 
------------------ 
 
8. Policemen severely beat a lawyer in a Matola city 
police station. His injuries required him to be 
hospitalized. The lawyer had gone to the police station 
to represent several clients, but attempted to leave 
after becoming intimidated by the aggressive nature of 
questioning by interrogators. Police versions of the 
story claim the lawyer was fleeing and subsequently 
became involved in a scuffle with other police officers, 
but photos of the injuries he sustained are more 
consistent with a severe beating. The Mozambican Bar 
Association demanded an investigation and measures to 
punish the involved police officers.
