Six (6) individuals are in police cells since last weekend suspected of belonging to a group that terrorizes the Maxaquene and Polana Caniço neighborhoods on the outskirts of Maputo. The individuals concerned are being accused of belonging to the infamous gang known as ''machete-men" who in night raids assault people and
homes using machetes, axes and other
blunt instruments. The suspects are young with age ranging between 14
and 20 years, and virtually control the neighborhoods in question, with
almost daily performances.
