In addition to the armed struggle, FRELIMO is developing the work
of national reconstruction. Conscious of the fact that one of the main
difficulties facing our revolution is lack of technical cadres, FRELIMO
proceeeds with:the intensive preparation of these cadres. '
In fullfilment of the technical programme, on. the 1st of July 1966,
thirteen Mozambican*male nurses aids graduated at the Mozambique. Institute
in Dar es Salaam.  After a year of Intensive preparation, they were considered qualified. They: will go soon to Mozambique, where they will
practice their profession, giving roedloal assistance to the people and the.
guerillas.
The importance Gf this graduation lies in the fact that, -for the
first time in the history of Mozambique, Mozambicans who fight to be free
from colonialism were trained by other Mozambican nationalists to work in
Free Mozambique in the areas already, out of the control of the colonialists,
To mark this fact, a ceremony was held at the Mozambique Institute.

1.  HOW REGULO NHAPHALE WAS ARRAIGNED
AND EXECUTED BY THE PEOPLE
■-;-.- :Some traditional chiefs '(regulos) in Mozambique collaborate with the
Portuguese colonialists. ..Being afraid of'losing their feudal privileges
with the victory of the revolution and the establishment of a peoples1
regime, they make alliance, with the Portuguese for the maintenance of the
colonial status*.
One of these chiefs was Chief NHAPHALE from the region of Mutarara
in Tete Province.
Nhaphale was known for his active collaboration with the Portuguese
colonialists. When FRELIMO forces began the war 'against them in Tete,; five
other traditional chiefs were arrested by PIDE (the Portuguese Secret
'Police) after their denunciation by Nhaphale, who accused them of
collaborating with the nationalists.
Faced with that attitude, the population reacted, marching en masse
to the house of the regulo and warning him that he would be punished and
that FRELIMO would come to mete out justice.
