Africa-Press – Mozambique. Dôa and Mutarara districts in Tete province may be isolated during the current rainy season, because the Mutarara/Madamba section of National Highway Number 322 is in an advanced state of degradation.
The alert was raised on Friday in Tete city by Governor Domingos Viola during the XVI ordinary session of the Provincial Executive Council, following a working visit carried out to these districts.
“Our biggest concern is the condition of the road. Cyclone Freddy comprehensively degraded the N322. If it starts to rain, I am sure that these districts will cut off by road and the only means of access will be the train,” he said.
He urged the National Roads Administration (ANE) to us better engineering practice, more resilient to bad weather, in its interventions in order to ensure that Mutarara and Dôa remain connected to the provincial capital.
In another development, Viola urged the education and social action sectors to be more persistent in recruiting adult men in literacy programmes, since most of the people involved in the programme in Tete are women.
