State run Dailynews reported that Mozambique Minister of Culture and Tourism, Silva Armando Dunduru, explained during a tour of the project site that construction was at 75 per cent. He said that the museum would be inaugurated this year.
“The position is positive, there is not much to be worried about. We think that we have to constantly visit the place where the museum is being built so that we report back to the people of Mozambique. The project is not only for the government, but also for the people of Mozambique,” Dunduru was quoted as saying.
The museum is financed by the government of Mozambique, and is being built on the former homestead of a family in Lobatse which had given Machel accommodation during his country’s fight for liberation.
