Mozambique @50 Years, Plans for the Next 50 – ‘National Unity, Peace and Sustainable Development’

The Flame of National Unity travelled throughout Mozambique, passing from hand to hand, across all the provinces, until it reached the Machava Stadium in Maputo on Independence Day, 25 June.

The journey started on 7 April, which is Mozambican Women’s Day, when President Daniel Chapo lit the flame in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, echoing the journey of the torch that was carried across the country 50 years ago to the same stadium, where Samora Machel declared Independence on 25 June 1975.
