Edson Macuacua, the Central Committee Secretary for Mobilisation and Propaganda of Mozambique's ruling Frelimo Party, has categorically denied claims that Frelimo bribed three prominent opponents of the mayor of Beira, Daviz Simango.

It is clear that frelimo is the party facing major problems with Daviz Simango, individual candidate for the municipality of Beira. Any attempt to destabilize this candidates campaign seem not to be working as the community stays behind him and his promises of a better future. No bribe, promises or desistabilization techniques will apply this time.
Anyway it seems that Frelimo is facing problems with their own candidate as well, as this is highly associated with a crime, involving the sale of plots of land, which is prohibited in Mozambique. Does not this communicate that this candidate is the door to future corruption actions? Maybe yes, maybe not. May be it is just a commom practice in their environment.
