Two close associates of Mozambique's leading opposition candidate Venancio Mondlane, who ran for president on October 9 elections, were gunned down in Maputo on Saturday as they prepared to challenge the contested elections.
Lawyer Elvino Dias and Paulo Guambe, another candidate from Mozambique's Podemos party backing Mondlane, were travelling in a car in the centre of the capital when they were surrounded by other vehicles and shot dead.
For more on this, from Mozambique's capital Maputo is Professor Adriano Nuvunga, Director of the Centre for Democracy and Development, and President of the Mozambique Human Rights Defenders Network.
He spoke to Peter Ndoro.
