ON THE 7TH APRIL, MOZAMBIQUE CELEBRATES NATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY.
International Women’s Day is celebrated worldwide every March 8 but in Mozambique 7th April (public Holiday on the 8th April as the 7th is a Sunday) we celebrate Josina Machel aswell to honor women and their contribution to this country.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY IN MOZAMBIQUE(REF:HTTP://AGLOBALWORLD.COM/HOLIDAYS-AROUND-THE-WORLD/MOZAMBIQUE-NATIONAL-WOMENS-DAY/)
Josina Machel was one the many who played a significant role in the history of Mozambique during the Portuguese re-gime. Machel was among the volunteers who were designat-ed to serve at the Liberation Front of Mozambique or FRELIMO to fight for the national independence. She worked as an as-sistant director at the Mozambique Institute in Tanzania. Be-cause of her dedication to serving the country, Machel even refused to accept an outstanding offer to be a scholar at a premier university in Switzerland. Instead, she chose to remain as a volunteer for FRELIMO’s Women’s Branch which aimed to offer military training to women and have them equipped and prepared for a military struggle.
She was among the few chosen women who underwent mili-tary training at Nachingweya in Cabo Delgado. And during the peak of 1968, she was assigned as the head of the Wom-en’s Section under the International Relations Department of FRELIMO which was only at her early 20′s by then. Shortly after that, she became the head of the Department of Social Af-fairs of FRELIMO and held several projects and programs con-cerning the children and the women.
And on the tragic year of 1970, Josina Machel was diag-nosed with liver cancer. She went to Moscow for just a short period of time of treatment and quickly went back to her country to fulfill her obligations in the FRELIMO. She suffered much stress and pain because of her illness and became very weak. On April 7, 1971 while she was at the Muhimbili Hospital, Josina Machel died at the age of 25.
On the anniversary of her death, FRELIMO officially an-nounced that April 7 will be a National Day for Women in Mozambique in special remembrance to Josina Machel. On March 1973, The FRELIMO, which was inspired by Josina Machel and her campaign for human rights, established the National Organization of Mozambican Women which aims to protect the social rights of the Mozambican Women. This inspiration left by Machel later on led to the Mozambican independence on 1975
NATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY TRADITIONS, CUSTOMS ANDACTIVITIESEvery year on April 7, the Mozambicans gather in many different parts of the country to hold several programs and activities to pay tribute to their national heroine Josina Machel.
The day indication as well for the people to celebrate and rejoice for their country’s achievements and accomplish-ments. Despite the many catastrophes and disasters that country went through in the past, the people still continue to stay positive and proud for their nationality and for their country.
Since this is a long weekend enjoy Maputoor any oi these destinations.....
Xefina Island, the Old prison Island holds deep stories and can be visited by Dhow or speed Boat which is wonderful for a picnic. Or Inhaca Island - popular for diving and snorkelling, and ofcourse Portuguese Island , a magnificent paradise. Snorkelling, sun tanning and a 50 minute speed boat trip for Maputo. Further south is the Maputo Elephant Reserve, and about a 4 hour drive 4x4 only, from Maputo is Ponta do Ouro a very popular diving and snorkelling spot with beautiful beaches.

There are many historic landmarks to see in Maputo and a good place to start is the Praca de Independencia, also worth visiting are the Central Railway Station, Tunduru Gardens, the Art Museum and the Museum of the Revolution. The oldest historic site is the fort, The Roman Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of Fatima., the train station, designed and built in the early 1900s by the same Eiffel who gave us the famous tower in Paris. Visit the Botanic Gardens, the National Art Museum, the Alvaro Castro Museum of Natural History.

The Eco Lodge “Dunes de Dovela” is on a doorstep of Inhambane, closed to Zavora, between Maputo and Vilanculos in Mozambique, Southern Africa.
“Dunes de Dovela” is the perfect place to feel the energy emerging from the beauties of the Mozambican coast, the “Dunes de Dovela” Eco Lodge propos-es a whole immersion into the Nature and the Chope Culture for Responsible Tourism.
At the end of a beautiful 12.5 km track, “Dunes de Dovela” Eco Lodge is settled on top of the secondary dunes that overlook the Indian Ocean. Thus the Restaurant, the Bar and the Accommodations have breathtaking Sea, Dunes and coastal virgin Forest views.
Together with the Chope Community, we have built the Hotel of “Dunes de Dovela” in which we would like to welcome you now. Four years of train-ing and work hand in hand with the local community have enabled outstand-ing buildings (completely manually made) to grow amongst the dunes. Their rounded shapes melt gracefully into this unique environment that we preserve by all means.
Paths through the dunes and the coastal forest, along the edge of Dongane lake and towards Dovela village offer you lots of opportunities to explore the area and meet people... Alternatively, you can relax on the terrace of your comfort-able chalet and watch the Humpback Whales (June to October), walk down to the pristine beach and snorkel along our rocky reef.
The space, the serenity of our place, a personalised and warm service and our delicious Franco-Mozambican cuisine will enable you to enjoy every moment of your honey moon in a luxurious chalet, your family week end in our tented bush camp or your retreat far from the madding crowd.

Untamed and untouched, the Southern Mozambican coastline plays host to a unique battle between the open Indian Ocean and the estuaries of Maputo Bay. Machangulo Beach Lodge is located at the centre of this grand battle, the channel between Inhaca Island and the dunes of the Santa Maria Peninsula. The ever present conflict between tides energizes the atmosphere and adds to the magic of this unspoiled and mysterious place.
The Lodge overlooks this magic; endless white beaches, pristine and untouched dune forests, estuaries bursting with life and eternally wide open ocean – all in an energetic harmony. Hidden away amid the dunes and hiding amongst the forests, Machangulo Beach Lodge has a warm and inviting atmosphere, keeping its guests calmly protected from the epic nature outside.
Your boat journey through the endless channels of the bay ends on the Lodge’s seclud-ed beach. From here the beauty and magic will become more and more real. Walkways snake through the cool forest and bring you to the Lodge’s main building, inviting you to relax and become part of the calm. Your cabin is just around the corner and the staff of Machangulo Beach Lodge is at your service to ensure the adventure you’ve been hoping for…
