by António João Mulima (Mozambique)

I didn't expect to find Mozambique

September 2014 While attending the second year of high school, my History teacher, within the scope of an assigned research work, which aimed to write the Study Trip Report that together with my class to the Nwadjahane Open Museum, in Mandlakaze District, Province of Gaza, Southern Mozambique formerly called the Gaza Empire. Historical site that keeps traces of what life and work would be like in the childhood of the Architect of National Unity, co-founder and first President of the largest Political Party in the Mozambican country "A FRELIMO" The DR. Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane. The illustrious object of study of that trip is descended from those who had elevated that region to the imperial category before the Portuguese colonial invasion. What made this experience unique was to know up close the place that brought the light of childhood, adolescence of this Mozambican Hero called Hero. the hut not where he was born and spent nights. the path that led him to the course of primary education, the evolution of studies in the former Portuguese Colony to the African potential as a Professor and sociologist in the United States, as the story of Dr. Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane tells us.
