Mozambique President salutes SA government's swift backing during devastating floods

Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi has thanked South African President Cyril Ramaphosa for the swift support extended to his country in the wake of devastating floods that ravaged several provinces in late 2023. The floods, which left thousands displaced and infrastructure severely damaged, particularly affected Gaza and Inhambane.

The floods marked a significant moment in the long-standing relationship between Mozambique and South Africa, shaped by decades of cooperation on various projects. This strong alliance is a far cry from apartheid-era policies that sought to isolate Mozambique, highlighting a significant shift in South Africa's approach towards its neighbors since the end of apartheid.
