We ask all drivers to park their chapas (minibus-taxis) and private vehicles\u201d. The reasons for what the senders of the message wrongly call a \u201cstrike\u201d are listed as \u201cfuel, cost of living, wage increase, better living conditions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Another message says \u201cMozambican brothers, let\u2019s wake up, life is difficult\u2026 This government is humiliating us, they are killing us, and so we should follow the example of South Africa\u201d (a reference to the violent demonstrations on South African roads last week).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s close down everything tomorrow\u201d, continues the message. No vehicles of any type should circulate. \u201cWe are willing to fight for the good of our children\u201d, it concludes.<\/p>\n<p>There is not the slightest indication of where these messages come from, and the trade union movement issued a statement on Wednesday dissociating itself from calls for demonstrations or strikes.<\/p>\n<p>The statement urged all workers \u201cto remain calm, serene and vigilant against any manoeuvres and diversions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Far from going on strike, it added, workers should continue to participate in production \u201cand tomorrow (Thursday) they should present themselves at their workplaces throughout the country\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The unions urged all Mozambicans \u201cnot to become involved in acts of vandalism or other abnormal practices\u201d. They should obey \u201csolely and exclusively the guidelines given centrally by the unions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This short statement was signed by the country\u2019s two trade union federations, the Mozambican Workers\u2019 Organisation (OTM), and the Confederation of Free and Independent Unions of Mozambique (Consilmo), as well as by the national organisations of journalists, teachers and doctors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
