Residents of the Costa do Sol neighborhood and the President of the Municipal Council of the City of Maputo, Razaque Manhique, meet tomorrow to discuss the impacts caused by concrete production plant, built in the middle of residences in that neighborhood of the country’s capital. The meeting, to take place in the morning of this Thursday at the headquarters building of the Municipal Council of the City of Maputo, comes in response to the request for clarification of this case, made by the residents of blocks 15 and 16 of that neighborhood, the previous day February 14th. In the letter sent to the Maputo City Council, the residents of Costa do Sol question the role of the Municipal Council in the implementation of that industrial project, judging by the steps followed by the previous administration, which reveal a total violation of municipal regulations. Residents of Costa do Sol ask, for example, for clarification regarding the ownership of the space, the beneficiary company and its purpose. They claim to have established that the concrete plant belongs to a Chinese citizen named Wu Yuxiao, while the title of Right to Use and Benefit from Land (DUAT) and the respective construction license were issued in the name of a Mozambican citizen, named Mungone Manguele. They also highlight the fact that the documents were issued to different companies: the DUAT was issued in the name of Africa Great Wall Concrete Manufacture, Limitada., while the construction license was issued in the name of China Construction Sausum Mozambique Co. Limitada. Residents also question whether the licensing of that project took into account the Maputo City Territorial Planning Plan, approved by the City Council, as it provides for the separation of urbanized areas from industrial and urbanizable areas. They also want to know how the Municipal Council was able to issue documents about a work that was being carried out illegally 10 months ago. It should be noted that, in an interview with STV, last week, the Mayor of Maputo, Razaque Manhique, guaranteed that his work team will “comply with the rules”, as “no one is above the law”. “What we are analyzing is under what circumstances that license was granted”, guaranteed the politician. This week’s meeting between the Municipal Council of the City of Maputo and the residents of Costa do Sol, it should be noted, will be the first since the Chinese company began its work, in January 2023. From what “Carta” found, the Previous Mayor of Maputo City, Eneas Comiche, ignored all requests for meetings made by residents. Remember that the case is currently in the hands of the judge of the 9th Civil Section of the Judicial Court of the City of Maputo, where a decision is awaited on the precautionary measure submitted by residents with a view to the provisional embargo of the work. The hearing was held on February 15th. (Letter) Source: Carta de Moçambique
