<guid>https://torre.news/venancio-mondlane-promises-justice-for-madgermanes</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Venâncio Mondlane, the presidential candidate for the Democratic Alliance Coalition (CAD), has pledged to reactivate the case of the &quot;Madgermanes,&quot; Mozambican workers in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) who never received the wages deducted for Mozambique. During a meeting with the Mozambican community in Germany, Mondlane committed to resolving the issue if elected, emphasizing the need for compensation and utilization of the skills of these workers. The case, which has dragged on for over 30 years, remains unresolved despite financial transfers from Germany to Mozambique.
At the time, many Mozambican workers in the former GDR had up to 60% of their salaries deducted to be received in Mozambique. However, upon their return, they discovered that the government had not transferred the funds to the rightful owners. This process, which has been ongoing for decades, has yet to reach a satisfactory conclusion. ]]></description>
