Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican interprovincial bus company \u201cManing Nice\u201d has shut down its activities, throwing about 500 workers into unemployment.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Nampula-based company blamed the poor state of the main north-south highway, EN1, for the decision of Maning Nice to end its transport activities.<\/p>\n

Alongside the sharp degradation of EN1, the flow of passengers and cargo using interprovincial bus services had declined sharply, and so Maning Nice found itself running up heavy losses.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters recently, the Chairperson of the Association of Nampula Road Transporters (ASTRA), Luis Vasconcelos, said that the current state of EN1 is making transport services unsustainable.<\/p>\n

He revealed that Maning Nice has a debt of more than six million meticais (about 94,000 US dollars, at the current exchange rate) to the bank.<\/p>\n

It s also unable to pay wages. The last time its workers received their wages was in November 2022<\/p>\n

One of the workers of Maning Nice, Faustino Mirasse, cited in the Maputo daily \u201cNoticias\u201d said that, with the closure of the company, he has no hope that the wage arrears will ever be paid.<\/p>\n
