Government to meet opposition leaders

    JOHANNESBURG

    The Mozambican government is to meet the leadership of the opposition RENAMO party to see how it can “accommodate” the party without accepting a recount of votes cast during the general elections in December, the Mozambique news agency reported this week.

    The agency, which did not give a date for the meeting, quoted sources as saying RENAMO had asked the government to “facilitate” its participation in companies that have already been privatised, or are to be privatised, “so that the financial problems affecting some of its leaders can be resolved”. It said opposition party officials had been putting pressure on RENAMO’s leader, Afonso Dhlakama.
