Three Mozambican farmers and seven South Africans have already been installed in the district of Majune, and seven Mozambicans and nine South Africans are in Sanga. As for the demarcation of areas for the peasant family sector, to avoid possible conflict with Mosagrius, the Mozambican mapping and surveying directorate, Dinageca, has already concluded its work, and is presently busy marking out areas for the commercial sector. Chissano insisted that the Mozambican government is giving priority to upgrading the skills of Mozambican farmers so that they could play a leading role both in management and in financial terms. In Niassa, Chissano also assessed the implementation of the government's five year programme in Majune, Maua and Mecula districts. He expressed satisfaction at progress, particularly at the local people's self-confidence, and urged the provincial government to support local initiatives in the reconstruction of economic and social infrastructures.
Reconstruction work is enormous and the whole country needs a lot of money for reconstruction.
People should build schools and hospitals and the government will support them with medicines, nurses, teachers and desks. People should take advantage of the existing materials to improve bridges. Smuggled cigarettes seized The Mozambican customs authorities on 23 November, at the town of Moamba, some 60 kilometres northwest of Maputo, seized 13 tonnes of cigarettes packed into hundreds of boxes in an armoured railway wagon. A customs source told the press that the merchandise was apprehended after the engine driver tried to disconnect the loaded wagon in the town of Moamba, where there is no customs post. To try and mislead the authorities, the cargo had travelled from the South African port of Durban to Zimbabwe, then before entering Mozambique along the Limpopo corridor that links Zimbabwe to Maputo.
