MOZAMBIQUE: Dhlakama appoints team to prepare meeting with president Nyusi

Renamo will present on Thursday, the team which will prepare the meeting between Dhlakama and the President, Filipe Nyusi. The information was given this afternoon and was released by the Renamo leader himself in an exclusive telephone interview with Stv.

Dhlakama began by disproving rumours that he had died: “I am alive, I was not even sick nor did I get sick. I am alive and in good health”. And then he gave the good news: “As for the creation of a team, I must reassure you, in two days I will announce [the names]. I could announce the three names for the negotiating team for the agenda, but I will not be able to announce. I will delegate my office in Maputo, that will be able to do this in two days. Thursday you, the radio, the press, Stv, may receive the names of the three Renamo members who will dialogue about the agenda [of the Dhlakama-Nyusi meeting] with the Jacinto Veloso group.

Dhlakama said that this is in response to the letter from the Head of State received today (Tuesday, May 17) in his office asking that the subject of international mediation be discussed later:

“Now I think things are ripe. That is why I am announcing that I received this letter at 11h30am in my office, in Maputo. So, the team will be created,” he said.
