Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Two new prison directors in Mozambique have been fired just 12 days after they were appointed.<\/p>\n

One of them is Herminia Nhamundze, the director of Ndhlavela Women\u2019s Penitentiary, where it was found that inmates there had been forced into prostitution.<\/p>\n

The other is Ramos Zambuco of the Maputo Maximum Security Prison.<\/p>\n

Soon after they were sworn into office early this month, reports surfaced that the two had pending court cases.<\/p>\n

The reports said the two had been detained for their alleged involvement in the release in 2014 of the \u201cnotorious\u201d prisoner Momade Abdul Satar, better known as Nini Satar.<\/p>\n

Satar had been serving a 24-year prison sentence for the murder of a prominent Mozambican investigative journalist, Carlos Cardoso, in November 2000.<\/p>\n

His release on parole was later revoked and an international arrest warrant issued against him. He was arrested in Thailand and extradited to Mozambique in 2018.<\/p>\n

Justice Minister Helena Kida also dismissed Alfredo Pires who was recently appointed the national director of administration and finance.<\/p>\n

The ministry said Mr Pires was sacked after the minister learnt that he was being investigated in the southern province of Inhambane for alleged embezzlement of funds.<\/p>\n

The justice minister said she was wrongly advised to appoint the fired leaders. She is yet to appoint their replacements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
