Hello im christine want to welcome to news africa its good to have your company and if you see has just begun his 2nd term as mozambiques president the 60 year old took the oath of office in the capitol hill in front of thousands of supporters but opposition on decisions boycotted the event they allege election win was right now one off newsies biggest crowd. Next is the rap as a guy hes one of mozambiques most influential hip hop artists while his music has and him much fame among the public its also made him a nuisance to the stage. After hours of waiting the audience finally gets what theyre here for at some duluth aka as i got the undisputed hero of mozambique in hip hop. Who the songs of the 35 year old hit back against the corrupt egocentric elite and give voice to mozambiques disillusion postrevolutionary youth. Local boys. I really like his music as it reflects the reality we see today in mozambique through something. He inspires me he has a super strong message. As a guy who doesnt usually give interviews but he makes an exception for us his latest album is titled sort of their only debt but not just the financial kind. Of the its a life of pain back debts the governments made and our own debts that we make every day its a system its a culture its a lifestyle so we have 2 kinds of debts one is a day to day struggle of all of us and another one is that debt to ourselves a commitment to make things better even. Despite his fame as a guy isnt interested in expensive cars and fancy clothes and his music videos he portrays himself as a mechanic or even a drunkard he tells the stories of everyday people. Standing up to the powerful. In the title track sort of there from his latest album he calls for peace in the shacks and war in the palaces. The name of a guy i mean flight javelin spear hes known for his role in erics and isnt afraid of offending those in power no matter how much they try to silence him. Being a musician in was a b. Is very difficult its even more difficult to make music off social intervention television or radio publisher music they dont it doesnt matter for me its important to go to people employ my music so that people can feel the power of my music this is important to me as a musician. Mozambican t. V. Channels and radio stations dont play as like songs out of fear they could become a target themselves. But that doesnt stop from publishing his music after all he has an Important Message to spread. This continent. And only be happiness and wealth when we scientifically find our own way of living scientifically so this is the message that i have for my fellow African Brothers and sisters so much love. To their people more. To be. Good. People as a guy as motto truth might hurt but without it nothing will change. Now today Human Rights Watch published its 2912 over portail guys i should highlight it mozambique as one of the countries in africa that is of key concern for more on this weve invited male im having a from Human Rights WatchAfrica Division he joins me now from johannesburg welcome to you mr my finger in your report you say that a crackdown on the rights to freedom alf expression and Peaceful Assembly continued last year in mozambique how did you observe this. Key concern for Human Rights Watch in mozambique in 2019 was a crackdown on freedom of expression and assembly as well as through the media so for example in the know in couple joe got a province there was a restriction of access for journalists to cover events there and we also looked at as there was in attack and restrictions when a critic of the government musicians. For example in general and organise important send up of Public Integrity that was exposing corruption. Around by the police and local to the leadership that they. Intimidated at the same applies with the police stopping in much much too by the womens group.

Government is and. Position remember and serious abuses were committed but there was no accountability present news you signed a peace accord but which then kind of blanket amnesty and did not look at issues of accountability and thats one of the biggest failings the other has to do with a legacy of core option in the context where mozambique needs investors International Aid but has failed to create. Its record in terms of scandals of color corruption missing or misappropriated billions that here to get investors away from was indicated when natural disasters including Tropical Cyclone lee di demand that time of the big gets resources other ways a lot of people hundreds of thousands have their rights.
