Annual 12 km athletics race realised in Songo,Cahora Bassa
THE RACE IS TO COMMEMORATE THE REVERSAL of Hidroelectrica de Cahora Bassa's ownership.The HCB power plant once was the property of the Portuguese government.
Ownership of the Cahora Bassa dam on the Zambezi river was transferred from Portuguese control to Mozambican hands at a ceremony witnessed on 27 November 2007 by five southern African heads of state and government.
The reversal of HCB to Mozambique reflects an indelible landmark for Mozambicans, leaving out the idea of complete independence.In terms of the economy, HCB is a valuable tool in line with government policies for the country’s economic growth and development.
The winners of this year's race received bycles,motorbikes and fridges.
It must be highlighted that HCB is the largest enterprise largely owned by the State and is already producing results never achieved by other public holdings .

Thirty-six thousand people are struggling to get drinking water due to prolonged drought affecting the Guro district in northern Manica province.Of those affected,nine thousand are residents of the village headquarters and the rest of the interior of the administrative posts of Mandi and Nhamassonje.Insufficient water from constructed sources,rivers and ponds, afforded the reduction of pasture availability for the animals.
Allied to this, the built cisterns have been dry for months,which contributes to the formation of
long queues at the few sources
of water, where people dispute
this liquid with animals.
