His Excellency Viola praised the Catholic Womens Organization of Tete and other believers in the province for their Evangelism work which when combined with Government work contributes to the transformation of communities. He also thanked the Catholic Womens Association of Malawi for their visit which took them to Songo District where they were able to see for themselves the progress of the expansion works at Matambo Hydroelectric Substation which will sustain the power line that will transport electricity to Malawi. Mozambique aims to start the work on the deployment of the power transfer to Malawi by the end of this year.
In his response the Consul General hailed the Excellent Bilateral Relations between Malawi and Mozambique which started a long time ago. He appreciated the fact that Malawians and Mozambicans are the same people the only point of contrast may be the language which will soon be history as the Government of President Dr. Lazarus Chakwere was instituted a Policy where Primary and Secondary Schools in Malawi will be teaching Portuguese. Good thing was that the Mozambicans already speak Chichewa. Mr. Saka quoted the former late President Kamuzu Banda who believed that travel is part of a critical learning process and as such appreciated that the Malawi Women travelled to Mozambique, where one of the things seen and appreciated was the Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric Power Generation in Songo District where overall impact will be the erasure of power shortage problem in Malawi. He concluded by encouraging continuation of these exchange visits as their value is appreciated by all concerned.
Coming to the crux of the exchange visits, the coordinators for the two women groups agreed that the lessons learnt were profound and far reaching. The Malawians Women were amazed that the Mozambican women were doing well even in some aspects doing better than their trainers. Note worthy was the fact that the women were taking on more responabilities in assisting the church than they were taught especially when it comes to supporting the clergy as well as its membership during bereavement. A beautiful exchange of gifts ceremony was yet another positive highlight of the visit.
The purpose of the visit was two fold: to condole their counterpart for the loss of Rev. Padre Vital Adriano Conala who passed away on 7th April, 2024 after a short illness. And secondly to reciprocate the exchange visit of Tete Diocese Catholic Women Association undertaken in 2023.

A visit to Boroma to see the Mission of St. Joseph of Boroma where the first Seminary for Brothers is situated.
