      Very stereotypical, whilst trying to appear as a gift to the human race. Is poverty only in Africa? How many rundown areas have you covered in London, Paris, Washington DC and even in your home country? Typical colonial mentality....saviour of the African race. I live in the UK, you do not need to travel far to see homeless people in virtually every city centre. This one-sided reporting is not true journalism, with trickles of charity handed down or raised through crowd funding for poor Africans. SMH

      Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

I walked the streets of Maputo at night, sometimes alone. I had Mozambiqan friends. I never witnessed any crimes, ive been to almost every part of the city and it didnt feel like there was any crime at all, if so it was minimal, it felt so safe. Im sad if times have changed.

I don”t lock my doors at night, can walk at any time on the beach or time and feeling safe. There is no violence by the people. People are humbled, helpful and with big smiles. My car is never locked with the keys inside and my property does not need a fence….of course in all poor Capital cities you will find some crime, but not as this video make it seem like.

Maputo is famous for its bauhaus buildings and the local art scene is just buzzing with fantastic works (not the tourist art, much more creative and innovative designs). It is a very exciting place to go.

      Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!
