Daviz Simango, the leader of the third-largest party in Mozambique’s parliament, the Democratic Movement of Mozambique (MDM) and mayor of Beira, in the centre of the country, may be discharged “at any time” from the hospital in South Africa where he was taken on Saturday, a party spokesman has told Lusa.
“I have just spoken to the family and the news is excellent: the president is in a promising clinical picture and could be discharged at any time,” said the spokesman, Sande Carmona. He added that all party bodies and Beira council were operating normally.
“Everything is running smoothly and it is out of the question to think about replacing the president, because he will resume his normal life at any time,” he said.
Simango was transferred from Beira at 9 p.m. on Saturday night to a hospital in South Africa due to a sudden health problem, his brother, the head of the MDM parliamentary party, Lutero Simango, told Lusa at the time.
The clinical situation of the MDM leader is “stable”, his brother added, without specifying the cause of the problem.
The MDM leader, who was its candidate for president of Mozambique in the last elections, had been taking a week’s holiday, after not having been able to take it in January due to bad weather in Beira.
A family source told Lusa that Simango’s wife had last week had a positive result from a Covid-19 test.
Simango himself has already taken a test, but the result is unknown, the source said.
