The President of the Republic appealed to the population not to get carried away by the wave of misinformation about the origin of cholera, spread by malicious people.

According to Filipe Nyusi, who made the appeal this Monday in the village of Capimbi, in the town of Ntemangau, in Changara, Tete province, during the inauguration of an integrated photovoltaic energy and drinking water supply system, "the people who agitate the population to create disorder in the community over the alleged existence of cholera must be held accountable".
