Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Criminals in South Africa on Saturday set alight six vehicles belonging to Mozambicans, including a passenger bus, which were carrying around 35 people to Durban, Noti\u0301cias online reports this Monday.<\/p>\n

The incident took place about 90 kilometres from the Ponta do Ouro border post between the two countries.<\/p>\n

In addition to setting fire to the vehicles, the criminals also robbed their owners and passengers.<\/p>\n

Matutui\u0301ne district administrator Ju\u0301lia Mwitu told TVM what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attacks took place just outside Durban, about 90 kilometres from the border. Six vehicles belonging to Mozambicans were set on fire,\u201d Mwitu said, adding that everything indicated that the incidents were linked to protests carried out by criminal gangs.<\/p>\n

There are no reports of deaths or injuries, and the victims were rescued by the South African authorities and escorted back to the Ponta do Ouro border.<\/p>\n

Police authorities promised to comment on the matter shortly.<\/p>\n

This is the second report of Mozambican vehicles being set alight in South Africa in less than a week, Noti\u0301cias concludes.<\/p>\n

Seis viaturas moc\u0327ambicanas incendiadas na A\u0301frica do Sul<\/b><\/p>\n

Um grupo de malfeitores desconhecidos, ainda a monte, incendiou sa\u0301bado, em territo\u0301rio sul-africano, seis viaturas de cidada\u0303os moc\u0327ambicanos, incluindo um autocarro de passageiros, que levavam cerca de 35 passageiros e tinham como destino a cidade de Durban.<\/p>\n

O incidente ocorreu cerca de 90 quilo\u0301metros da fronteira da Ponta de Ouro, que separa ambos os pai\u0301ses.<\/p>\n

Ale\u0301m de atear fogo a\u0300s viaturas, os malfeitores levaram parte de seus bens, incluindo valores moneta\u0301rios.<\/p>\n

A administradora do distrito de Matutui\u0301ne, Ju\u0301lia Mwitu, citada pela Televisa\u0303o Moc\u0327ambique (TVM), confirmou o ocorrido e explica os contornos que envolveram o infortu\u0301nio.<\/p>\n

\u201cE\u0301 do lado da entrada de Durban onde deu-se o ataque, a aproximadamente 90 quilo\u0301metros da fronteira e foram incendiadas viaturas de alguns moc\u0327ambicanos, em nu\u0301mero de seis\u201d, disse Mwitu, acrescentando que tudo indica que o caso tem ligac\u0327o\u0303es com as manifestac\u0327o\u0303es perpetradas por grupos de malfeitores contra cidada\u0303os moc\u0327ambicanos.<\/p>\n

Na\u0303o ha\u0301 registo de mortes ou feridos. As vi\u0301timas foram socorridas pelas autoridades sul-africanas e escoltadas de regresso a\u0300 fronteira da Ponta de Ouro.<\/p>\n

Sobre o assunto, as autoridades policiais prometeram pronunciar-se brevemente. Este e\u0301 o segundo caso de queima de viaturas na vizinha A\u0301frica do Sul em menos de uma semana.<\/p>\n

According to a report brought by \u2018O Pai\u0301s\u2019 on Wednesday (January 25), unidentified criminals in South Africa on Monday of last week torched a loaded passenger bus travelling from Durban to Maputo, without injury to person.<\/p>\n

An amateur video circulating on social media platforms shows the bus on fire.<\/p>\n

One of the passengers involved in that incident was a young businesswoman who left Durban on Monday, on a trip that usually lasts five to six hours. She only managed to arrive in Maputo on Wednesday morning, much shaken by what happened on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very uncomfortable. We had to go back because, they told us, there was a strike and they were burning coaches, so we had to sleep at the border. We slept in the street,\u201d she recounted<\/p>\n

Armando Chemane drives a minibus on the Maputo-Durban route. He was heading back to Maputo when he heard about the bus on fire and was forced to divert.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe left Durban on Tuesday. When we arrived in Lhilhuli we stopped to fill up. A Mozambican appeared and warned us against using that road, so we turned around and looked for alternatives,\u201d he related.<\/p>\n

The situation did not take long to have its impact at the international terminal in Baixa. By midday on Wednesday, only one vehicle had left for South Africa, and that with few passengers onboard. Usually, three buses a day leave, said Lopes Ambro\u0301sio, President of the International Transport Association.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt ends up affecting all the routes to South Africa, because people get scared. For example, today people are afraid. Here at the Baixa terminal , movement is very weak, there is almost no work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
