Following the unfortunate incident of the deaths of Mr. Paulo Guambe, PODEMOS political party representative, and Mr. Elvino Dias, the party’s lawyer on 19 October 2024, the SADC calls upon the law enforcement authorities of the Republic of Mozambique to take all necessary measures to ensure an investigation is carried out. We also urge all stakeholders to exercise restraint whilst relevant authorities carry out investigations.
