Today and yesterday’s front pages on the streets of Maputo. 21 February: Notícias led with cholera vaccinations freeing 8 districts of the disease in the last month; new tax regulations speeding Mozambique’s exit from the international financial “grey list”; and plans to acquire new buoys for national ports.
