Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Estádio da Machava is a multi-purpose stadium in Machava, a mainly residential town in the northwestern outskirts of Maputo, Mozambique. It is used for football matches and can hold 45,000 spectators. The stadium, built by the Portuguese colonial government of Mozambique, was inaugurated on 30 June 1968 and named Estádio Salazar at the time.It is now owned by Clube Ferroviário do Maputo.A couple of miles away, there is Machava prison, a huge penitentiary complex built in the early 1950s for common criminals. With the beginning of the independence guerrilla warfare led by Frelimo in 1964, PIDE, the Portuguese dictatorship''s political police, created a special section in the complex where it would keep political opponents and prisoners of war under custody.After Mozambique''s independence in 1975, the new government, led by marxist- orientated Frelimo, continued to use this section of the Machava penitentiary for political prisoners.
