Venâncio Mondlane, the presidential candidate, says he is happy because the march has achieved its objective.

"We achieved what we wanted. More than 90% of economic activities were paralyzed, this was already a great gain, so the people are to be congratulated," said Mondlane.

Mondlane has promised to do a live stream in a few hours' time where he will announce the second stage of the strike, which he said will be more radical

At the time, the leader of the demonstrations advised people to return to their homes and wait for the announcement of the next step.

Mondlane was speaking at a press conference a few moments ago.
