Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>New York, December 14, 2023\u2014The Committee to Protect Journalists calls for authorities in Mozambique to thoroughly investigate the killing of journalist Joa\u0303o Chamusse outside his home in the KaTembe district in the capital Maputo on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cCPJ is deeply disturbed by the killing of prominent Mozambican journalist Joa\u0303o Chamusse, and we extend our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues,\u201d said Muthoki Mumo, CPJ\u2019s sub-Saharan Africa representative, in Nairobi. \u201cMozambican authorities should urgently and credibly investigate Chamusse\u2019s killing and its motive, and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chamusse, co-owner and editor of privately owned online daily newspaper Ponto por Ponto, was found dead on the morning of December 14 by neighbors who heard him scream for help during the night, according to Luis Nachote, a local journalist and former colleague and friend of Chamusse, who went to the scene and spoke with Chamusse\u2019s neighbors. Chamusse had a wound to his head and a machete and gardening hoe were found on the ground, Ponto por Ponto co-owner Esmeralda Amaral, who also went to the scene, told CPJ. The Mozambique chapter of the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA), a regional press freedom group, condemned the killing.<\/p>\n

CPJ\u2019s calls and messages to Bernardino Rafael, general commandant of the local police, received no response.<\/p>\n

In addition to his work for Ponto por Ponto, which covered alleged corruption and local politics, Chamusse contributed commentary critical of the government on programming aired by the privately owned TV Sucesso broadcaster, according to MISA and the U.S.-Congress funded VOA Portugue\u0302s. Previously, he co-founded the weekly Canal de Moc\u0327ambique newspaper and worked as a reporter at the Metical newspaper edited by journalist Carlos Cardoso, who was murdered for his journalism in 2000. Another Mozambican journalist, Paulo Machavo, was killed in 2015, but CPJ has not yet determined whether his death was related to his work.<\/p>\n
