CFM chairmans slams Maputo monopoly

19 years ago

The chairman of CFM, Rui Fonseca, Mozambiques publicly-owned ports and rail company, has commented that it was a serious mistake leasing the port of Maputo to a single private consortium.

Speaking publicly, he alleged that foreign interests forced the government into leasing the port in this way.

He further claimed that the Maputo Port Development Company had not honoured agreements with CFM, while management of the port was leaving a lot to be desired.
