On the border to the adventure
It starts so easily and with great expectations. But an auspicious visit to Mozambique immediately turns into an unpleasant situation: without electricity, everything collapses!
Timeless
Every morning - and only when it dawns on - do I walk through the streets wondering how they do it, how everything can be. Will understand, write down: how they live, how they suffer, how they survive. How a heart can withstand Maputo. Of course I sink.
A video shoot in Southeast Africa
A scrawny girl with a tattered old shirt climbs barefoot in the midday sun to one of Maputo's largest rubbish heaps, the capital of Mozambique.
When she discovers me, we both pause for a moment. Neither the girl nor I know how to react and I am slowly getting the bad conscience.
Roadies
Mozambique is a fantastic country, but it faces some massive problems: water supply and sanitation, road construction and maintenance, confiscation and demilitarization, just to name the most important ones. Problem # 3 supports my thesis that there are countries and regions that somehow have no luck, example Afghanistan. Whenever there is light at the end of the tunnel, something unforeseen intervenes and everything goes down the drain again.
