Maputo, 8 Jul AIM) – Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi on Thursday inaugurated a new water supply system in the Cumbana administrative post, in Jangamo district, in the southern province of Inhambane.
Financed by the British government, the new system provides safe drinking water for about 17,000 people. Previously they had relied on unsafe artisanal wells, or simply the harvesting of rain water.
Nyusi declared that the availability of safe water should be used as an instrument for local development.
Also on Thursday, Nyusi inaugurated a new building where the Inhambane branch of the National Social Welfare Institute will operate, and new premises for the Inhambane Provincial Court.
Previously the court had operated out of the same building as the Inhambane Municipal Council, which was built over 200 years ago.
At the inauguration of the courtroom, Nyusi said justice should be an instrument at the service of the people, and should help attract more investments to tourism, which is a key sector of the Inhambane economy.
This is the fifth new courtroom built in the province, following those in Inharrime, Morrumbene, Funhalouro and Mabote. Currently work is under way on building courtrooms in Panda and Jangamo districts.
