The Inspector General of the National Inspectorate of Economic Activities (INAE), Rita Freitas, is the chairwoman of the Voting Assembly at the 25 de Junho elementary school in Maputo city.

The blatant act is outraging various quarters of society because such a function should not be carried out by employees of public bodies.

The independent candidate, Venâncio Mondlane, who exercised his right to vote at the school, noted this and condemned the attitude of Rita Freita, known as INAE's "iron lady".

"We've noticed such a blatant act here," he lamented to national and international journalists.
