Another businessman was kidnapped this morning (11.02) in Maputo city. The incident took place along Avenida Amílcar Cabral, near the barracks in the military zone.

This is the second kidnapping this year to take place in broad daylight.

Witnesses heard by TV Miramar said that a car parked near the victim's business.

Two armed men then entered the place disguised as customers, threatened the workers and took the victim, who is 65, to the car and drove off at high speed towards Amílica Cabral Avenue.

"It all happened very quickly. After the car left in a hurry, we heard the employees saying: they've taken the boss, they've taken the boss," said witnesses who were at the scene.

The police have already confirmed the crime. They say they are working in coordination with the National Criminal Investigation Service to clarify the case.

A few days ago, the Confederation of Economic Associations, CTA, called a press conference to demand that the government make the anti-kidnapping brigade operational.
