Mozambican President Daniel Chapo has urged the newly appointed governor of the southern province of Gaza, Alfeu Cuna, to prioritize the reconstruction of flood-affected areas in order to stimulate the province's economic development. Cuna took over as governor of Gaza, replacing Margarida Mapandzene, who resigned amid allegations of misappropriation of flood relief donations.
President Chapo emphasized the need for reconstruction of infrastructure during his swearing-in ceremony for Cuna, stating that the central government will provide support for the cause. He also urged the new governor to develop local solutions to mitigate the impact of future floods and the expected El Niño phenomenon. President Chapo stressed the importance of relationships with all sectors and participatory governance, involving local authorities, community leaders, religious organizations, women, youth, the private sector, and civil society to address Gaza's challenges.
The governor was also expected to increase agricultural production, diversify crops, boost the livestock sector, strengthen the manufacturing industry, promote tourism, and ensure sustainable water resource management.
