Hello and welcome to Zitamar’s free weekly newsletter — delayed, but worth the wait.
Yesterday afternoon we published our exclusive interview with Mário Cristovão, the wildlife ranger from Niassa Special Reserve who spent days hiding in the bush with shattered legs following the insurgent attack on the Mariri conservation centre. Now in hospital in Maputo, he told Zitamar’s reporters last week how he fended off a curious hyena while using his elbows to crawl in search of shade until he was finally rescued. It’s quite a story.

Below, you’ll find the usual highlights from last week in Zitamar News. But before we go we also wanted to point you to a piece of investigative journalism published in the pan-African newspaper The Continent at the weekend, showing how Zimbabwe’s ruling party, Zanu-PF, registered Zimbabweans to vote in Mozambique’s elections last year, helping tilt the playing field even further in favour of Frelimo, which was of course ultimately awarded victory by the Mozambican election authorities.

A group of Zimbabwean journalists went undercover to register for Mozambican voter ID cards, and even to use them on voting day, to prove it could be, and was, done. Again — quite a story.
