Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The district education director who ran over a journalist who was covering a teachers\u2019 protest in Nacala-Porto in the north of the country must be held accountable, the Mozambican chapter of the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA Mozambique) demanded on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMISA urges the Justice authorities in Nacala to act in an exemplary manner to hold the district director of Education accountable,\u201d a statement from the press freedom watchdog reads.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Monday, when TV Sucesso journalist Filesmar Essiaca Agostinho was covering the protest of a group of teachers demonstrating outside the District Directorate of Education of Nacala-Porto, in the province of Nampula, against delays in salary and overtime payments.<\/p>\n

According to MISA, the journalist trying to get a reaction from the district director regarding the teachers\u2019 complaints. when he drove by and hit Filesmar Essiaca Agostinho on the leg.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to running him over, Alexandre Ma\u0301rio damaged part of the television broadcaster\u2019s working equipment.<\/p>\n

After what happened, the director did not provide assistance to the victim, who was rescued by members of the public,\u201d reads the note from MISA, which adds that, \u201cat the health unit, the reporter underwent a plaster cast application, and the orthopaedic doctor ordered him to rest for 30 days, therefore, a month without working, with regular checks every three days\u201d.<\/p>\n

MISA will take \u201clegal measures that it deems necessary to hold the director responsible\u201d for this \u201cblatant abuse of press freedoms and the right to information\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the legal implications, MISA understands that Alexandre Ma\u0301rio\u2019s actions \u2013 the actions of a state employee \u2013 in no way dignify the state, much less someone who holds a management position,\u201d the communique concludes.<\/p>\n

Mozambican teachers have, in recent weeks, been demanding the payment of around 11 months of overdue overtime, while simultaneously demonstrating against salary cuts and delays caused by the implementation of the Single Salary Table (TSU).<\/p>\n

The TSU, the target of criticism from various segments of the public service, was approved in 2022 with the aim of eliminating asymmetries and keeping the state\u2019s wage bill under control in the medium term, but its implementation, itself marked by delays in payments, caused salaries to soar, with expenditure rising from 11.6 billion meticais\/month (\u20ac169 million) to 15.8 billion meticais (\u20ac231 million).<\/p>\n
