Sociologist and university professor Carlos Serra died in Guimarães, Portugal, yesterday at the age of 72 years after a prolonged illness.
According to his son Carlos Serra Júnior, his father in November last year displayed symptoms of a respiratory infection resulting from the lung cancer he had been battling for years.
In view of their concern, his family transferred Carlos Serra to the Oporto Oncology Institute in Portugal, and later to the Guimarães Hospital, where he lost his life on Wednesday afternoon.
The funeral will take place on a date to be announced, in Portugal, Maputo and Tete, his birthplace, but all depends on the current world situation and the mobility restrictions imposed as a result of the Covid-19 coronavirus.
Carlos Serra Júnior clarified that his father’s death was not connected with the coronavirus pandemic.
Journalist, sociologist, one of the founders of the Centre for African Studies at Eduardo Mondlane University, the author of books on the history of Mozambique and essays on research methodology for scientific works, Carlos Serra was born on November 13, 1947 and lost his life after a prolonged illness on March 25, 2020, at the age of 72.
