BizNews Radio

Controversy is raging over the credibility of the national election results in neighbouring Mozambique where Frelimo’s Daniel Chapo won by over 70% of the vote. In this in-depth interview with BizNews, Tertius Jacobs, the Mozambique analyst for the private risk management company Focus Group takes viewers through the results; the claims of election manipulation; and the apparent assassinations of two opposition figures documenting electoral fraud and leading the team working on an appeal to the elections commission. He describes the ensuing nationwide unrest and the police response. Jacobs also gives a comprehensive update on the insurgency in Cabo Delgado. Meanwhile, the country is on a knife edge as it awaits the validation of the results by the Constitutional Council.
