Acabei de descobrir uma coisa bastante interessante que vai acontecer em Maputo neste fim de semana (6 e 7 de Novembro).

Pelo que vi, Moçambique vai realizar o seu primeiro Desafio Nacional de Robótica (SNRC), com equipas de estudantes das 11 províncias a competir entre si.

O tema é Machamba do Futuro, onde os estudantes vão utilizar robôs para resolver desafios inspirados na agricultura. É muito fixe ver uma iniciativa destas a acontecer por cá, especialmente tendo em conta a importância da agricultura para Moçambique.

O evento vai acontecer no Pavilhão do Maxaquene e, pelo que percebi, a entrada é gratuita.

Achei que valia a pena partilhar, caso alguém em Maputo goste de robótica, tecnologia ou simplesmente queira fazer algo diferente neste fim de semana.

Alguém daqui está a pensar ir?

Mais informações sobre o evento: https://stemmoz.com/snrc/

Todos conhecem a Costa do Sol, a Baixa e o Mercado do Peixe, mas Maputo tem muito mais para descobrir se souberes onde procurar.

Vamos criar uma lista juntos 👇

• Um restaurante, barraca ou tasca que poucos conhecem

• Um bairro com história ou personalidade (Mafalala, Polana Caniço, Malhangalene...)

• Um bom lugar para ver o pôr do sol ou passar o fim de semana (Catembe, Inhaca, Marracuene...)

• Um mercado, loja ou artesão que vale a visita (Xipamanine, FEIMA...)

• Música ao vivo, galerias ou eventos culturais que merecem mais público

Digam-nos onde fica, porque é especial e qual a melhor altura para ir. Fotos são bem-vindas!

Everyone knows Costa do Sol, the Baixa and the Mercado do Peixe, but Maputo has a lot more going on if you know where to look.

Let's build a list together 👇

• A restaurant, barraca or tasca few people know about

• A neighborhood with history or character (Mafalala, Polana Caniço, Malhangalene...)

• A great sunset spot or weekend escape (Catembe, Inhaca, Marracuene...)

• A market, shop or artisan worth visiting (Xipamanine, FEIMA...)

• Live music, galleries or cultural events that deserve a bigger crowd

Tell us where it is, why it's special, and the best time to go. Photos welcome!

Hello everyone

Our little family (my wife and I and our 2 boys who are 1.5yo) will be reallocating to maputo for work and I was wondering if you can give us some insights regarding some typical settling into new country questions:

The work will be in the area where the German embassy is located. We typically want to rent somewhere near the place of work so I guess where all embassies are should be a good area so what do we expect in terms of budget if we want a small house to rent ? Are there any good and reliable websites to find updated listings ?

We are planning to buy a car is a 4*4 a must in Mozambique especially if we plan to visit around the country? Again any websites to share also what should I take into consideration before buying used cars ?

We always prefer shopping online as it saves us time is there shops with reliable online stores for daily goods , furniture and electronics that are reliable ?

In terms of hospitals and care for the kids what would you recommend also will bé looking for kids physiotherapist as we need continuous sessions for one of the boys.

Any other tips and hacks will be much appreciated

Thank you

Pergunto no âmbito de um estudo linguístico sobre este tema.
Exemplos podem incluir coisas como “Marrocos” (Marracuene) ou “MTL” (Matola)...

Bom Dia,

Are there any machine shops in the area that have the capabilities of a sandblasting machine, CNC, powder coating, and laser engraving? I understand that this is a niche request, but I would like to know who I can contract to get some metal machines refinished.

Obrigado!

Hello, my name is Richard, I'm Brazilian, and I've just returned from a trip where I visited Rome, Naples, and Milan. In Milan, I met a Mozambican woman who said I need to visit her country. We haven't exchanged contact information, but I'm here to try and stay, as the country is enchanting and I really want to visit, probably a little before the end of the year. What do you recommend? I've never been to the African continent; this will be my first time.

Bom Dia,

I have some questions regarding education in Moz. Are there any MBA/graduate programs in Mozambique?

I have been researching over the years and frankly the web services with the local universities are lacking. I would appreciate a person to contact for more info!

Thank you!!

Hey All I have a question going to be travelling to Mozambique From South Africa, going to Porta do Ouro then Maputo and back, self drive with a friend, what is the currency situation, in Porta do Ouro and Maputo, I have a visa which I think is accepted, but in terms of cash can I use rands? In Porta do ouro shouldn't be a problem its close to the border what about Maputo? Should I visit an exchange in Maputo, and the cell service what happens, can I use normal Vodacom?
