Amisse
Árabe, President of the Metangula Municipal Assembly, visited the Mechumua
neighborhood in the northern part of the Municipality of Metangula, Niassa
Province, northern Mozambique, where last Friday, he led the opening ceremony
of the academic year. He mobilized the local population to contribute
financially for the removal of the baobab tree, which contains bees, from the
primary school.
The
initiative follows an incident that occurred last August, in which the bees
residing in the baobab tree located on the school grounds attacked those
present at the school and in nearby residences. This resulted in 6 victims,
including students and school staff, and in one of the neighboring houses, 120
pigeons died from bee stings.
The
solution found was to remove the baobab tree, and this work comes with its
costs. In this regard, Amisse Árabe, President of the Municipal Assembly,
stated that the solution should be local. Therefore, he mobilized the community
to contribute towards paying the people who will carry out the tree removal
work. Amisse was the first to contribute 2,000 meticais, followed by the Chief
of Planning in the district education service, Alexandre Sicumbili, who donated
1,000 meticais.
Some
attendees at the event also contributed, raising a total of 3,770 meticais.
This amount was handed over to the community queen, who, along with the
neighborhood secretaries, will continue collecting contributions and later hire
people to carry out the removal of the baobab tree, considered a "bee
breeding ground." (Davide Muianga)
