I’d also like to gain insight as to what businesses are in high demand in that area!

Thanks!

How expensive is Maputo ? How monthly expenses cost ? Could I afford a decent appartement and car ? What are the best business to do in Mozambique? Do people are reliable?

I have certain bills I need to pay internationally that can only be done through wire transfers, however, doing so from a bank is a huge headache and almost impossible. Is there a Western Union in Maputo or other ways to wire money from a Mozambican bank account to one internationally?

Context: I only have an FnB Moz Bank account

Calling all critical thinkers and those with special interests!

I have made it a mission of mine to be in every reddit sub for every nation on the earth (or at least the ones in english).

I am trying to gauge interest in any who wish to bring their passion and knowledge in a category to join a groupchat (on the dinosaur of a platform known as Facebook).

What im looking for and why:

My whole life ive been interested in different countries and cultures and the idea of having an 18+ groupchat in which many nations have a bit of representation its a dream come true. Id love to have people who are educated and capable of deep discussion about various topics.

Criteria

1. Have a special interest in any field politics, philosphy, history, heck even those proficient in film music or theatre.

2. You can take a joke. Its a fairly on task group chat however id say the only stuff that is censored as far as words go is any words pertaining to race or explicitly sexual material.

3. You are respectful of different religions. The group chat is very commonly excercising various different belief standpoints and jokes as long as they are in good taste are perfectly acceptable

What to expect:

1. Debates: these can range in a variety of topics from politics to history to science. And they can border on "heated" but at the end we are all just trying to learn and any oversteps will result in bans after a warning if course

2. Varied religious backgrounds id say the group is about 65% Christian 35% atheist but everyone in there is comfortable with sharing details about their religion free of ridicule aside from the lighthearted jokes. We have also recently added some others majority of which are Muslim.

3. The group right now is majorly american but there has been a fair bit of canadians that have joined and left over the three years the groupchat has been around. We recently got some members Azerbaijan, Bahrain, and Germany

4. Right now we have experts in the following categories

Cryptocurrency TV Shows and Pop culture Philosophy American Law World History Military History Video Game History Meteorology

The group is probably like 45% autistics with special interests so we pride ourselves on knowing our craft.

5. Each month I post news articles from every nation's internet news source in alphabetical order usually a letter a day. And we monitor and disccus the conflicts happening abroad

6. The group is 100% male which wasnt even by design thats just how its gone so far but there isnt a gender requirement one way or the other.

The donts:

No excessive meme spam. I tend to allow discussions with GIFS but depending on how many join the chat, theres no need for excessive memes

No posting sexual or graphic material some mems walk the line but never cross it.

No racial slurs

The creator of the GC is the final authority on everything

The point of the GC is to engage and have fun. If somebody is going a month without at least reading the posts then you shouldnt have joined in the first place silly! Inactives are often removed after one month.

Lets educate eachother! The goal is to increase comradery and learm about eachother cultures.

As of right now im wanting natives to whatever nation I post this in (as I intend to copy and paste) and depending on traction Im going to try and invite either the first people who respond or the most educated.

If you want to leave a rude comment or something about how you have better things to do go ahead! This is reddit after all!

But at least for the sake of being entertaining lets avoid repeats so far ive heard

Incelfest

Sausagefest

Pretentious

Arrogant

Red pills

Sounds like Hell

Remember we are looking for people who want to make friends and debate ideas not people who think themselves witty comedians.

Hello everyone, I am travelling to Mozambique for the first time and I would like to ask for any tips/advice on things to do in Maputo. Greatly appreciate your help.

Hey What's up!

(I copied most of this from the Nahuatl, Quechua, TainoHeritage and Caribbean Subreddits, I Apologize.)

My name is Herek, I want to make this one movie I have written down into an Anime. I wanted to know if there was anyone who wanted to help or would be interested in seeing this happen in general. I didn't know which subreddit to post this on because I highly doubt you all would be on any voice actor ones or Indigenous American ones(Apart from here).

Synopsis(I already Copywrited this movie btw)-

>So the main character is a Young Teen(Around 12/13) from a Nomadic Nahua Band in the 1560's-70's and is essentially kidnapped by the Spanish Government and Is sent to Japan During the Remainder of the Sengoku Jidai. Is a descendant of a Hebrew Christian(in this alternate History, Hebrew and Jews are Different), And because of his Bloodline, He is able to learn languages quickly. He arrives in Japan with other Kidnapped Indigenous Peoples and Some Africans. Them being Other Nahuas, Maya (Yes, From the different bands and groups), Quechua(Of course mostly being Inca), Taino, Kalinago, Arawak (Mostly Lokono) as well as Bantu-Africans. Essentially they help Oda Nobunaga take over the rest of Japan, Then help Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

>He becomes the leader of these peoples and they get land and become an "Autonomous Region" of Japan.

>This Movie has many Historical people as it is a Historical Fiction and Alternate History. People like Yasuke, Giovanni Rorutesu/Roltes?(Yamashina Kutsanari), Oda Nobunaga etc.. It does have a lot of Christianity in it, But purely because of Historical Context of it.

>The style will be as an Anime but there will be Dubs in English, Spanish and Japanese at the same time. Of course, all the lines of which the people will be speaking indigenous languages, They will be speaking those languages in all dubs.

>The Reason why I'm on this subreddit is because I need a (or a couple of) Makhuwa Voice Actor(s) to play Yasuke and his people.

>I apologize but I am not really knowledgeable with the Bantu peoples and customs as I am with the American Indigenous and Asian Peoples.

>Essentially I wanted to see what it would like like if Latino People naturally formed in Asia and see what would happen. And we can't have a Latino person unless we mix Indigenous American, White and AFRICAN(Yes, I'm aware not all Africans are the same. I know that most africans brought to the Americas where Niger-Congo and Mande speaking Peoples. But there were a lot of Africans from Angola and Mozambique because of the Portuguese Empire.). I also wanted to experiment with some Martial arts and as I've studied, Capoiera from Brazil is descended from a Martial Art from Mozambique and Another from Angola. Although that are always conflicting.

All I'm looking for is there would be any Makhuwa speakers willing to help me.

Thank you, Have a Blessed Day!

What is the population of the malagasy people in Mozambique. I heard they normally travel to Mozambique and have some family relatives there?

So I was wondering if I travel to Mozambique I will be able to find the gold in bald people heads? I heard they contain gold in their heads if I find it. I hope that Maputo does not have an evil aura. Any recommendations to find bald? And how do I extract the secret gold? Thank you sir.

Is there a reputable place that exchanges meticais to USD? Apparently, Standard Bank doesn't do it.

I'm arriving in Moz this week and its not the easiest place to find recent info about online. I'm American so the 30 day visa free is supposed to apply.

1. How strict are they with this? Can you do 14 days and then come back and do 5 more or is that considered breaking the rules?

2. After hearing about some of the low level corruption in the country from officials, what do I need to watch out for in the airport and in general? (I don't use drugs)

3. Are simcards available at the airport? Any companies to be avoided or recommended? I will arrive on a later flight.

4. What's the best way to get from the Airport to an Airbnb in Polana Cimento and a fair price?

I just want to add that I am black and speak conversational Portuguese and understand a bit more, if that is useful to know for your recommendations.

I got a taxi to Junta and as soon as I arrived, I realized etrago doesn't run on Tuesdays. This was not the info given at my hostel: I was actually told not to travel on Monday cos it was a holiday (women's day). A salesman to a van heading to Tofo (via Inhambane) quickly approached. Told me they'd be leaving at 6:30/7AM and the ticket cost would be 1200MTN. My táxi driver told me to trust the man cos prices were standard for everybody. Then I realized everyone else getting on the bus was paying 1000MTN. This is not okay. As a foreigner am I suppose to accept being charged more?

Still waiting on the bus. When I confronted this salesman, I was told he'd already explain to me and no refund would be given. Not a good first impression of Mozambique.

Hello guys! I have recently started to put together a map of my favourite places I have visited around the world. The point of the map is to log the random, unknown places I was enjoying my time at and I'm having trouble finding some of those. I'm looking for a specific place in Maputo, where I went to see an open mic/multiple bands kind of concert in December 2019. I think it was a student concert venue (I think it might have had Estudantes in the name), it was a pretty large open space with a bar, and it was a walking distance from the Fatima's backpackers. Any help is appreciated! All in all I loved Mozambique and I hope to visit it again someday 💕

As title says, I'll be in Maputo in a few weeks for a work trip.

Can't seem to find any good info on food places on YouTube.

Where should I go and what should I try? :)

Thank you!

I will be renting an apartment soon in Beira and I am looking at Starlink if it can be a reliable or better option than current providers. Hopefully users can describe their experience about Starlink at present. Thank you.

Hello!

I'm doing an overland journey across Malawi and Mozambique and my next stop is Zomba/Blantyre in Malawi. I've tried looking for information online but didn't find much.

My plan is to cross the border and reach Tete. After that, I'm a bit at a loss on how to proceed. As long as I reach either Beira, Vilankulos or Inhambane I'm good (as I can then try to head south from there).

Does anyone have some info?

For context, I'm trying to avoid flying so that wouldn't be a solution for me; also I'm not in any major rush 😊

Hi MOZ Friends!

My girlfriend and I were reviewing rental car service companies. We wanted to rent a car in Maputo and drop it off in Vilanculos.

A) Do rental car companies offer this option? We only saw one company online and it was over 1K euro equivalent for the entire week.

B) Which rental car service would you recommend?

C) What should we look for when renting a car? Are there ample businesses? What's a good daily rate?

Thanks so much :)

I am supposed to fly to South Mozambique (Maputo, Tofo, Vilanculos) for 2 weeks on Friday but have just heard storm Filipo was very destructive, is it still safe to go?

Is it feasible to drive from maputo > blade river canyon (SA) > kruger national park (SA) > bazaruto archipelago national marine park in two weeks?

Hi All

I heard about the devastating storm that hit Mozambique I hope everyone is safe. I had booked a 2 week trip from 18th to 31st and I'm just worried is conditions in maputo bilene and tofo safe for traveling?

Hey everyone!

I'm a grad student from Spain, diving deep into African Studies, and I've landed a project on Mozambique's upcoming general election. Now, rather than just regurgitating academic papers, I thought, 'Hey, why not tap into the pulse of Mozambique itself?' So, here I am! I'm eager to hear from you all, to get your real opinions and perspectives on what's happening with the upcoming election.

If you've got insights, thoughts, or even just a general feeling about the elections, I'd love to hear it.

¡Thank you!

My husband loves cake, but not store bought cake. He always talks about how well the Angola and Mozambique women bake cakes - I salute you 🫡

I enjoy baking but have never been able to make a cake that he really loves. I would love to make him an amazing cake for his birthday. Do any of my sisters have a good recipe I could try?

Thanks everyone!

Is it possible to pay the 650mzn visa fee in US dollars? If so how many dollars is it?

Hi,

I would like to take a bus or a car from Maptuo to either Manzini or Mbabane. How would I do this? Are there any companies where I can book a ride?

I grew up in Mueda and my family moved away when I was 9 or 10 years old. I have never been back and my dad said our house got turned into a schoolhouse or something. Since that was home as a kid and I didn't know I'd never be back, my mind still wanders to how the town is. Would have been 2003/2004 maybe when we left for the last time. Definitely didn't have any internet in the whole village back then, but maybe there is now! Please let me know if anyone has been there recently or lives there. I also lived in Nampula for a few years but know a lot more about the going ons there.

Hi all,

I am Irish and a few years ago I travelled to maputo. To this day I have not had a steak as good as the 3 I got in Mozambique. I travelled to Mozambique through SA and went to a popular steakhouse in joburg and even that didn’t compare to the steaks in Maputo. The main thing was how tender they were I could not get over. Since coming back to Ireland i have been to Irelands top steak house and even that didn’t reach the same level.

So can someone please explain why the steak I had in Mozambique was so tender and so good?

Hi, I'm here for work and will be staying here for approximately 1 month. Does anyone know of an affordable laundry service, preferably one that charges per kilo? The few places that I have checked all charge per item, so it is becoming quite costly to just have some clean clothes!

I would be very grateful for some advice, cheers!
