Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Matola Municipal Council on Wednesday issued a ten-day ultimatum for the owners of commercial establishments and private residences selling alcoholic beverages in the vicinity of schools to cease any such activity.<\/p>\n

The measure arises because there is growing drug consumption and consumption of alcohol in the vicinity of educational establishments, contributing to cases of violence in schools.<\/p>\n
