Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>With just over two months to go before the VI Municipal Elections on the 11th of October, Frelimo is looking for funds to finance its electoral campaign in the country\u2019s 65 municipalities.<\/p>\n

As in every election year, the ruling party will organise a \u201cMillionaire\u2019s Gala\u201d at its Central School in Matola, Maputo province. The event will start at 7:00 p.m. next Friday (11-08), and promises lots of music, dancing and joy, as well as generating lots of money.<\/p>\n

Information gleaned by \u2018Carta\u2019 indicates that places are limited and that access is by purchasing tickets, whose prices vary between 10,000.00 and 250,000.00 meticais. In the mid-price range, tickets are available for 25,000.00, 50,000.00 and 100,000.00 meticais.<\/p>\n

Promotion of the fundraising gala is being done in restricted circles, with publicity sent only to notables and businesspeople. The event will bring together party members from all over the country, with each province instructed to carry out its own publicity campaign.<\/p>\n

In Sofala province, for example, \u2018Carta\u2019 found that the campaign is being coordinated by Ta\u0302nia Bulha, daughter of Lourenc\u0327o Bulha, and Mozambican Airlines (LAM) delegate in that part of the country.<\/p>\n

The gala has been a recurrent feature of Frelimo fundraising in election years, as well as in years of Congress. These are events in which, in addition to raising funds through the sale of tickets, Frelimo raises millions of meticais from the auctioning of party memorabilia.<\/p>\n

In 2019, for example, Miguel Matabele, then CEO of public company Caminhos-de-Ferro de Moc\u0327ambique (CFM), bought a shirt autographed by Filipe Jacinto Nyusi for eight million Meticais, a purchase that raised serious questions about probity. In 2014, seats at the tables where Filipe Nyusi, then presidential candidate, sat, went for 500,000 meticais.<\/p>\n

The amounts raised are, however, never disclosed.<\/p>\n
