Carlos Agostinho do Rosario - Mozambican Prime Minister
Mozambican Prime Minister, Carlos Agostinho do Rosario, on Wednesday urged the country’s business class to take inspiration from the life of Rogerio Manuel, who died in a helicopter crash on Saturday night.
Speaking to reporters after Manuel’s funeral in Maputo, Rosario said that Manuel, who was chairperson for six years of the Confederation of Mozambican Business Associations (CTA), had shown that he was someone who fought for the welfare of Mozambicans, and particularly of Mozambican business people.
“We must take inspiration from the work he was doing so that we can continue to promote the development of our country”, the Prime Minister declared. “We must pick up the weapon he had, which is the will to work for the promotion of Mozambique”.
Manuel’s successor at the helm of the CTA, Agostinho Vuma, praised his commitment in working for the cohesion of the business class. He promised to keep Manuel’s ideas alive, in order to strengthen business associations.
While Manuel was CTA chairperson, Vuma recalled, he had worked to decentralise the confederation and to ensure that it became self-sufficient.
Under Manuel, he claimed, the CTA had established a “good image” abroad, and a legal platform had been created for dialogue between the government and the private business sector.
After Wednesday’s public funeral, Manuel’s body will be taken for burial on Thursday to his family cemetery in his home district of Magude, about 150 kilometres north of Maputo.
