SPEECE GIVEN ET MR. PAJ.CO.l I3PCJJÍ3I AT A MEETTITG ORGANISED BY THE
MOVEMENT FCR COLONIAL IREiDOM K^IO AT FRIENDS HOUSE, LONDON, on
Thursday, February 13th, 1964.
(Mr. Mocumbi is Head of the Information Dept\rtuent of FRELIMO).
Ladies, Gentlemen and Friends,'
From the introductory speech of Mr. Fenner Brockway, M.P., I
understand that the British people are much more informed about our
situation than we thought was the case. We shall not repeat what he
has said, but will let you know some of the details of the situation
in our country. We are sure that your consciousness of our problems
will enable you afterwards to take concrete steps towards helping us.
Mozambique is the only country in East'Africa which has not yet
got her independence. And she Í6 oneof those areas in Africa where
independence will have to be won by the hardest way possible. The
fact is that the Portugal which runs the affairs in our country today
is itself not only under one of the most ruthless dictatorships, but
is itself a colony of foreign capitalist interests. There is no capitalist company in Portugal which is composed exclusively of Portuguese
capital. That is to say, the people of Portutral itself are^Xnee^—They -
are controlle^Jay^thfr. .S4>«^«aerr-~í^ibtuiSt^régxmê, which represents a number
U>. " ' of' sconoafl C interests holding stock in the wine, cork, cotton, sugar,
rubber, shipping, diamond and cocoa industries.
The Portuguese regime in Mozambique organises all the sectors of
the Mozambiquean life in order to satisfy these interests. Mozambique
plays the role of a "reservoir" of richness in which they come and
pick up what they can to fill their pockets and their appetites. The
Í Mozambique Administration is typically colonial - all the leading
positions are in the hands of the Portuguese.
In the general life it is practised through the most cynical
racism. The population of Mozambique is divided into "indigenous"
and "non-indigenous": the non-indigenous including Portuguese citizens,
mulattos and the "assimilados"* .
Lately, the Portuguese Government confirmed its racial policy in
Africa by declaring that now all people of the Portuguese colonies
are actually Portuguese - because the indigenous status is "abolished"!
But the facts in our country show that there are still four groups:-
Portuguese citizens, Assimilados,, transitory status, and indigenous
who represent the candidates for assimilation. This segregation is
reflected in the schools, where we notice schools for Portuguese children (headed by Officers of Education) and schools for indigenous
• children (headed by the Missionaries)• The results of this kind of
education are clear. More than 99/6 of the population are denied
schooling.
The Mozambiçaaos amsd- irn^era^orrtrside' Mozambique's a slave. With
the Transvaal, and now the so-called Republic of .South Africa, the
Portuguese cinched quite a number of profiteable agreements such as the
1875 Treaty between Portugal and the Transvaal Republic, which was
later revised in 1901, 1928, 1934. 1936, 1940, 1950 and is new under
