In Nicoadala, Zambézia, young supporters of the MDM feel they must be discreet in the campaigning because they fear reprisals in school.

Pedro, 19 years old and a 9th class student, complained that his teachers frequently turned the classes into political speeches for Frelimo. "Instead of teaching us about science, they tell us how we should all join Frelimo because it was this party that build the infrastructure and is fighting poverty."

Speaking to students in Nicoadala, our reporter found that this was a common complaint.

Also in Nicoadala, a Renamo supporter has been detained by the police for removing Frelimo posters.
