The chairman of Maputo City Council, Rasaque Manhique, announced this Wednesday (05) that he intends to eliminate the fees applied to morgues and cemeteries. Speaking to the press, Manhique stressed the importance of the city council being there for its citizens, especially in difficult times.

"We're saying that it's hard that people, in that moment of mourning and pain, are thinking about where to find the money to pay the fees for funerals," said the mayor, quoted by the newspaper Dossiers & Facts.

It should be noted that the proposal to revise the fees for morgues and cemeteries has already been submitted to the Municipal Assembly for analysis and possible approval.
