Maputo - Mozambique, The Brazil Of Africa by Jonae1: 8:22pm On Oct 05, 2014
While everybody is always talking about Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Kenya, Angola, South Africa e.t.c. Mozambique is quietly developing exponentially.

This beautiful country is located in South-Eastern Africa, and the national language is Portuguese.

It used to be one of the poorest countries in the world in the 90's due to the civil war but now it is one of the few countries with surging economic growth.

The name of this new city shall be called Katembe

Because the country and its people have a Latin American flair. From their culture to their diversity. It is like a Brazil in Africa.

Well, that is as a result of colonialism anyway.

By your reasons, i think Angola fits in than Mozambique as the African Brazil.

Well, as you can clearly see, they are currently building a brand new city which is not something many African countries can/are do/doing.

You have to remember that this country experienced a 20 year civil war which ended in 1992 which made it the poorest country in the world. Moreover, they are not exporting any energy resource unlike Nigeria or Angola or Equatorial Guinea.

I find their development progesss to be very complimentary.

They are also currently improving their infrastructure on transportation such as rails, roads, airports, as well as Public Health, Education and Retail - Shopping malls, in other cities as well.

So before you want to start comparing, it will be good to consider some things. This country has been through hell and they are doing a good job - better than most African countries.

The newly built airport in the city of Nacala. Nacala is another city which is getting so many infrastructure projects from roads, malls, office to real estate. That city is booming with development. This airport will be an international airport once it is finished.

City Mall in Maputo. This is going to be the largest mall in Mozambique and one of the largest on the African continent. They say it is being constructed on the outskirts of the capital.

It is due to be completed by 2016

Phantonce, in all honesty, I am too lazy to go into details grin but its economy is one of the fastest growing in the world. The global recession did not affect its growth and its currency value is one of the strongest on the African continent.

In a couple of years, the country will start producing natural gas which will further boost its growth. It is one of the countries to look-out-for in the near future.

phucking says who?? mozambique (like 4yrs back) was the poorest country in the world. So tell me bro, which economy are you talking about?

According to United Nation's 2011 Human Development Report, Mozambique is the fourth poorest country in the world.

undecided Sad. However, I will also like other news medium that publicize development in Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Angola e.t.c to also focus on Mozambique. Not too many know there is something going on in this country. Some people still assume they are still in a civil war.

In regards to your question:grin Do not make me laugh with your query.

In response to your second statement:Nothing comes easy in life. One of the reasons Europe is in a crisis is due to their lackadaisical culture.

According to United Nation's 2011 Human Development Report, Mozambique is the fourth poorest country in the world.

Mozambique was the poorest country in the world in 1992 due to not only one but two civil wars. In addition, the effects of floods and bankruptcy impeded the country from developing in the 90's which left the country in an abysmal state. The country during that era was literally relying on donors to support itself. The rise in the economy was provenance from the former president, Joaquim Chissano who stabilized the political climate of the country and opened its doors to foreign investment.

There is no denying that this country is one of the world's poorest (though it is NOT the fourth poorest like you claim) but its rate of development surpasses most African countries. Please, let me reiterate that this country does not export energy resources. The fact is that this country is developing much better than most African countries and if you follow the news, you would have been aware that it is one of the fastest growing economies in the world according to economists and statisticians. Please update yourself. wink

Angola and rwanda are nt economically buoyant.
Switzerland is a financial and service based economy.As long as our leaders continue to loot to swiss,they will be doing fine and they use human labour for virtually everything thereby creating more jobs for them.
That's wat u.a.e is working towards now.
I really dnt know about germany.
