Mozambique Renamo Opposition Official Shot Dead in Capital

A member of Mozambique’s main opposition party and a delegate at ongoing political negotiations with the government was killed by gunmen while jogging at a beach in the capital, Maputo.

Jeremiah Pondeca, a former member of parliament, was shot Saturday in the upscale Costa del Sol area. He headed the opposition Renamo party’s team discussing nomination of six governors to head provinces that the opposition party says it won during elections in 2014.
