Quelimane, seaport city in Mozambique, trade in tea, sisal, coconuts
Quelimane
Quelimane (Portuguese pronunciation: [keliˈmani]) is a seaport in Mozambique. It is the administrative capital of the Zambezia Province and the province's largest city, and stands 25 km (16 mi) from the mouth of the Rio dos Bons Sinais (or River of the Good Signs). The river was named when Vasco da Gama, on his way to India, reached it and saw good signs that he was on the right path. The town was the end point of David Livingstone's west-to-east crossing of south-central Africa in 1856. Portuguese is the official language of Mozambique, and many residents of the areas surrounding Quelimane speak Portuguese. The most common local language is Chuabo. Quelimane, along with much of Zambezia Province, is extremely prone to floods during Mozambique's rainy season. The most recent bout of severe flooding took place in January 2007.An mystery fever is striking down people - mainly children - in the port city of Quelimane, Mozambique.
Health authorities are struggling to identify the malaria-like illness, which includes high fever, joint pain and headaches.
Dulce Santana told reporters it was not the first time she had brought her two year old in In the 16th century, the Portuguese founded a trading station at Quelimane, and until 1853 trade was forbidden to any other than Portuguese.[2] Sisal plantations were organized by German planters in the beginning of the 20th century. The town started to grow and attracted several communities from different backgrounds, including Muslims and Indians, and new infrastructure was built by the Portuguese authorities. Its busy port had tea, grown and processed in the district of Zambézia (particularly important in the region around Gurúè, former Vila Junqueiro), as its major export. Coconut was also produced and transformed in the city.[3] By 1970, Quelimane, Portuguese Mozambique, had 71,786 inhabitants.
After independence from Portugal[edit]
Mozambique became independent from Portugal in 1975, after the April 1974 Carnation Revolution at Lisbon. Although its location on the Rio dos Bons Sinais is less important today than in the past, Quelimane remains a major town with a large hospital, two cathedrals, a mosque, and a public university for teachers. Due to its heat, humidity, and distance from the beach, Quelimane is not among Mozambique's major tourist destinations. However, its status as a provincial capital and the fourth-largest city in Mozambique and the increasing ease of access by plane (Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique runs flights) and road cfor treatment.
I don’t know the kind of fever she is suffering from, she said.
I’m not sure whether it is malaria or not. This is not the first time my daughter suffers from the same illness. When she takes medical examinations, nothing is diagnosed. This is frequent.”
Quelimane's chief medical doctor, Joaria Amisse, said they were investigating the issue.
“Patients have, indeed, complained of fevers. We are going to the ground to investigate the problem, he said.

Ian Wright travels to one of the world’s poorest nations, a country wiped off the tourist trail for twenty years by war but now on the rise again – welcome to Mozambique!image:Ian wright
Ian starts his journey in its capital Maputo where he meets artists working to heal the wounds of war. He views the city’s colonial relics, lives it up in the Polana Hotel, one of Africa’s most luxurious hotels, and shops at Ipanaema market – a real taste of Africa.
Up the coast Ian finds himself in the Bazaruto Archipelago, a strip of islands off the coast that are fast developing as a diver’s paradise. Here he comes up close to one of the world’s most endangered animals, the dugong.
Pressing on north to Chimoio, Ian finds out how the central region of the country is dealing with the terrible landmine legacy of its civil war. From here Ian crosses the mighty Zambezi River and continues his journey to Quelimane where he stops at Africa’s biggest coconut plantation before learning about how locals are dealing with the lethal spread of the AIDS virus in Mocuba. Then Ian travels to the first European settlement in East Africa, magical Mozambique Island, which was built as a replica of Lisbon in Portugal.

Travel in Mozambique is still hard but worth all the effort!
