Maputo police is so friendly! (but sometimes not)

Maputo police is so friendly! (but sometimes not)

09/06/2005 by Arjen Africa

Yess.. after a short delay. Arrived in Maputo. The train from Jo’burg arrived at 6.38 in Komatipoort. From there a minibus to Maputo. Arriving in Maputo, arrested by the police. They wanted me to unpack my back in the streets. No way! (of course they were after bribes, my visa was ok). I didn’t want that, so i suggested to go to the police station. After spending too much energy in talking (seven officers in the backyard thought that it was very interesting what I had in my bag. They wanted to make me clear that I was in big trouble and I had to leave my laptop behind. Fifth time in Mozambique, never happened before, by the way). I did not leave my laptop. Now I am free again. Going to the Ministry of Tourism now. Working on stories for newspapers and magazines in Holland and Belgium.

Shock in Jo'burg
Africa is beautifull
