Authorities in the Mozambican capital Maputo have announced that all beaches in the city will be closed between 19:00 and 05:00 local time in order to combat crime.
Increasing acts of violence including rapes and murder in Maputo especially at night and often on beaches, have prompted the measure.
Leonel Matsumane, the municipal director of tourism, said for any activity beyond the time “a request must be submitted and a team assigned to monitor activities”.
The Costa do Sol beach, a popular venue for swimming, parties and other social and sporting activities, will have a dedicated police post for better monitoring of compliance, local media reported.
