Opening of alternative road on the Monapo River impacts boat business

The opening of the alternative road on the Monapo River, in Nampula Province, has brought an end to the private boat business that had been operating there since the bridge collapsed due to Cyclone Jude.

The transporters of these vessels on the Monapo River are now out of business in this location. For them, it's unbelievable. It was a significant source of income for their livelihoods.

Even with their work concluded, they still remain here, uncertain about the future. They were still at the site until the late afternoon of this Tuesday.

This Tuesday (15th) marked two days since the boats were removed from the water, and all vehicles with their passengers have been using the detour.

At the time of the visit, the press was on-site doing their work.

Now, boats are no longer needed to reach the other side or to transport cargo.

The young people who worked on the stairs, on the boats, and in the canoes cannot believe they have lost their jobs.

The visit was already taking place at the site where the official inauguration was held, led by the governor and some representatives of ANE from Nampula Province.

They are visiting the locations where the population suffered for two months.

After the governor's departure, the police and military forces, who had been present daily, also bid farewell to the population. (BP)
