Frelimo supporters in Nicoadala got into an uproar Wednesday morning at the party’s district headquarters, when District Secretary Agostinho Armando said he wanted to use money disbursed by the provincial party secretary. Frelimo Provincial Secretary Paulino Lenco disbursed 50,000 Meticais ($810) for the campaign logistics in the district. Armando said he would use 40,000 MZN ($650) to buy chairs for the meeting room of the district headquarters, and give 5,000 MZM ($80) for the OMM, the Frelimo woman’s group, and the same amount for the OJM, the youth group – who objected to the small amount. Finally it was agreed to distributed 1000 MZM ($16) to Frelimo in each of four localities, Monhunha, Namacata, Nhafuba and Nicoadala.
