RENAMO bans paper from campaign

    JOHANNESBURG

    Mozambique’s RENAMO opposition party at the weekend called on the country’s daily newspaper, ‘Noticias’ to stop coverage of the campaign of its leader, Afonso Dhlakama, PANA reported on Monday.

    RENAMO reportedly told the paper’s editorial management that ‘Noticias’ is biased against it in favour of the ruling FRELIMO party, and accused its journalists of systematically understating the number of people attending Dhlakama’s rallies. Meanwhile, FRELIMO reportedly warned at the weekend that RENAMO is causing disorder and violence in the current campaign to give itself an excuse to boycott the elections scheduled for 3-4 December.
