Forestry company Milhulamete, operating in the Agostinho Neto area, saw an embargo on ongoing construction in an area whose title of use and exploitation rights belong to it revoked on Friday.
The Marracuene district Maputo Judicial Court on Friday revoked the embargo on construction works, thus deciding in favour of the local population.
According to Noticias, the judge in the case, Judite Mahoche, took the decision at the end of the preliminary hearing on the grounds that the time limit for demanding an embargo before a court of law was 30 days after knowledge of the fact.
The court also ruled that the works in question could not be subject to embargo because they were concluded, and took into consideration the fact that the population had acquired the right to use the land through legacy transmission.
About 200 hectares, taken by alleged former residents, out of a total of a 767 hectare eucalyptus plantation concession, are affected.
