The Public Prosecutor’s Office in the southern Mozambican province of Inhambane has opened a civil lawsuit against former presidential candidate Venancio Mondlane, blaming him for destroying public property during riots by his supporters.
The Public Prosecutor is demanding that Mondlane pay more than four million meticais (about 63,000 US dollars, at the current exchange rate) for damage done to roads and other public infrastructure throughout the province during the unrest.
