AfricaPress-mozambique:<\/strong> Mozambican journalists Edmundo Galiza Matos died this Sunday, June 13, after being hospitalised at Maputo Central Hospital.<\/p>\n

His more-than 40-year-long career demonstrated Galiza Matos\u2019 versatile talent, reporting on politics, society and the arts, mostly on Radio Mozambique in Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Maputo.<\/p>\n

After his retirement, in 2015, he continued to make programmes in tandem with his brother, Lu\u00eds Loforte, with an emphasis on music -Mozambican, jazz, blues and rock.<\/p>\n

He also devoted time to training young people at the R\u00e1dio Comunit\u00e1ria de Palma, in Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

He\u00a0\u00a0leaves behind a widow and two children, one of them Edmundo Galiza Matos J\u00fanior, currently serving as Administrator of Vilankulo District.<\/p>\n

Edmundo Galiza Matos was born on August 11, 1954, in Inharrime, Inhambane province, but grew up in Cabo Delgado, where he began his career as a journalist in June 1975, at the then Emissor Regional de Porto Am\u00e9lia (now Pemba).<\/p>\n

In 1980, he was appointed to the R\u00e1dio Mo\u00e7ambique Provincial Broadcaster of Nampula, a position he held until 1986. In addition to administrative functions, Galiza Matos was part of the local newsroom and covered many major events.<\/p>\n

He transferred to Radio Mozambique headquarters in Maputo in 1986, working in the newsroom there for 24 years without interruption. He ended his career in 2010 as a Senior Editor.<\/p>\n

During his professional career in Maputo, Edmundo Galiza Matos, an unavoidable figure in the history of radio journalism, stood out as a news reporter and editor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started journalism in a region of the country where there was no journalism tradition as such, in the city of Pemba. The only media organ was the regional broadcaster of Porto-Amelia, currently Pemba, and it did not have journalists. I can say that I was one of the first journalists in the city. The regional broadcaster, the only media outlet, had no journalists. It simply retransmitted the news from R\u00e1dio Clube de Mo\u00e7ambique, and in terms of local useful information it was very scarce. It was more obituaries, ads, and it didn\u2019t go any further than that. So myself and others, like Mahomed Galibo, for example, were the first to work in the field of journalism, to produce newscasts for what would become the provincial broadcaster of Cabo Delgado. There was no such tradition of journalism, we didn\u2019t have journalists as such, unlike in Louren\u00e7o Marques and Beira\u201d Galiza Matos said in an interview last year.<\/p>\n

Radio Mozambique extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.<\/p>\n
