Renamo's presidential candidate, Ossufo Momade, is carrying out the party's election campaign in Manica province. On Friday, he visited the district of Gondola, where he promised to reactivate the Textáfrica factory.

He accused the ruling party, Frelimo, of causing the factory to go bankrupt and causing a rise in youth unemployment. "Where we had factories yesterday, today they are warehouses".

On the other hand, he said that his party's work, if it wins the general elections on October 9, will be to create more jobs and ensure that salaries are paid on time in the civil service.

He assured that in the process of tendering for jobs, people won't need to make undue payments to secure vacancies. "Where can you get money if you don't have a salary yet?" he asked.
