On Monday (29), the President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, dismissed Arsénia Massingue from the post of Minister of the Interior, in a presidential order. separate appointed Pascoal Ronda to the post.

Massingue's dismissal comes at a time of disappointment for the Mozambique Republic Police (PR) who, as well as dealing with a lack of friendliness on the part of the former minister, found themselves stuck in an uncertain scenario of salary arrears, due to the implementation of the Single Salary Table.

Little is publicly known about Massingue's "technical record", apart from the fact that she attended police studies abroad and served as Director General of the National Migration Service.

In the same vein, there seems to be no known trace of the new leader of the ministerial house, Pascoal Ronda. It is known, however, that he belongs to the school of generals appointed for "excellence or experience" and not for their level of education.

He was Commander General of the PRM in the government of Joaquim Chissano, the former President of the Republic, who dismissed him in 2001.

A publication of the blog Oficina de Sociologia, October 3, 2001 - which quotes Savana - puts him on a list of individuals who created the company Chicamba Investimentos, with the aim of draining money from the Ministry of the Interior.

Alongside the new Minister of the Interior are other generals, the former Commander General of the PRM, Jorge Khalau and Miguel dos Santos. The company's shareholder structure also included Ernesto Augusto, at the time (Armando Guebuza's government) Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications, the late Albino Guidone, Rosálio Fidellis (who at the time was the group's sole shareholder), Eduardo Mussanhane, Armando Correia, João de Brito Cunha and José Domingos.

According to the publication, Chicamba Investimentos is a faithful replica of Monte Binga, a company created within the Ministry of Defense in 1996.

"But at the Ministry of Defense, Monte Binga was transformed into a public limited company due to disagreements between senior officials who were shareholders and those who were not," we read.
