Abstract
After the April 1975 Nachingwea show trial, more than 300 prisoners sentenced to re-education were sent back to Mozambique. Selected from among them was the so-called ‘reactionary group’, which included Uria Simango, Gumane, Semião, Kavandame, Casal Ribeiro and several others. The group was taken in Tanzanian Army trucks to Lake Nyasa, then by frigate to the Mozambican navy base at Metangula on the shores of the lake. Boarding trucks once more, the group was taken inland to M’telela. Gwenjere joined the group afterwards.
