Businesspeople from Maputo Province gathered at the Commercial and Industrial Association of Matola (ACIM) on Tuesday, to deliver to the Governor Júlio Parruque various food products and other goods valued at over 1 million meticais, in support of victims of terrorism in Cabo Delgado.
With this donation, the businesspeople of Matola City fulfilled the promise made at a fundraising dinner to support the victims of the terrorist attacks in Cabo Delgado, held in December 2020.
On the occasion, the Commercial and Industrial Association of Matola committed to deliver the donation to its strategic partner – the Islamic Council of Mozambique (CISLAMO) to channel it to the victims of terrorism in Cabo Delgado.
Representing the Commercial and Industrial Association of Matola in the act, the General Director of Beluluane Industrial Park, Onório Boane, highlighted, among others, that the problem of Cabo Delgado belongs to all Mozambicans. He added that the businessmen will spare no efforts in gathering more support, while the terrorists continue to sow pain and mourning in that part of the country.
For his part, the Governor of Maputo Province said he was feeling a sense of relief that the Provincial Executive Council received the support of the private sector for the relief of the suffering of the victims of terrorism in Cabo Delgado.
According to Júlio Parruque, this gesture of charity of the Maputo Province businessmen is an important complement to the national solidarity movement towards Cabo Delgado. He appealed for the work to be continued in several ways and promised to make the donation reach its recipients.
