The main items on the agenda of visiting delegation led by Comrade Lindiwe Zulu, chairperson for the African National Congress’s Subcommittee on International Relations and South African Minister of Social Development, were strengthening the historic ties of brotherhood, friendship and cooperation that exist between Frelimo and the ANC, and the analysis of the political, economic and social situation in their respective countries.

Greeting the delegation on Monday (04-04), Frelimo Secretary General Comrade Roque Silva Samuel said that the visit would reinforce and consolidate the existing relations of cooperation between the two parties and peoples, which date back to the time of the founding of the Mozambique Liberation Front.

The Comrade Secretary General underlined that friendship and cooperation between Frelimo and the ANC dates back to the struggles against the apartheid regime in South Africa and the Portuguese colonial yoke in Mozambique, reviving memories of the need to continue to fortify and consolidate relations with a view to the future, and paying particular attention to youth – the assurance of the continuing prevalence of both political parties.

Roque Silva recalled that South Africa had supported Mozambique in several areas, highlighting natural disasters such as Cyclones Idai and Kenneth and, more recently, the fight against terrorism in Cabo Delgado province.

Roque Silva said that the meeting would also serve to deepen the two parties’ intervention strategies in the social and economic life of the countries, always aimed at the creation of prosperity for their peoples.

In turn, the ANC’s Lindiwe Zulu professed herself well pleased with the meeting, saying it would “further strengthen the cooperative relations between the two parties, their social organisations and the two peoples”.
