Ossufo Momade has been in Zambezia since Thursday September 12, drawing large crowds to his rallies in the province where Renamo won the previous election. Renamo’s presidential candidate criticized Frelimo’s electoral violence, recalling that “they did this to President Dhlakama,” in reference to the various attacks on Renamo’s late president.
“We know the behaviour of our evil red brothers, they were the ones who beat that teacher who is hospitalised in Quelimane,” Momade told the people of Pebane.
In Quelimane, Momade visited Professor Aristides da Conceicao who was brutally assaulted in the town of Guerrica, Derre district.
In Nicoadala Momade arrived at 14.00 on Sunday 15 September where the rally was scheduled to be held at the CFM sports field. But hours earlier it was occupied by Frelimo members and supporters, forcing Momade to hold a rally at party headquarters.
