The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique (CFM), Agostinho Langa Júnior, said yesterday that the company had recorded losses of 17 million meticais due to vandalizations.

The head of CFM says that at the moment the company is working at the point of resilience in the face of the losses, as they are continuous. An example of this was the cancellation yesterday of a passenger train to Chicualacuala, in Gaza province, due to protests in the province.

"We canceled a passenger train this morning because there is a demonstration in Chókwè. Passenger trains have been the most popular for vandalization. So we had to cancel," he explained.

The damage, he said, was also due to the fact that the company was not carrying loads.
