ex-Portuguese colony. Since peace was restored to Mozambique in the early 90s many Portuguese and South Africans have gone there for business, tourism, second homes, etc...

Every African city should look like Maputo at least, I don't know what's stopping them..(I'm referring to the poorer countries) their cities could do with a bit of TLC...Maputo looks great, very livable and vibrant.

Wow Maputo looks amazing! I had no idea such a wonderful city even existed. Definitely a city in Africa I would consider moving to based on the pics. Looks warm and sunny and wonderful. Reminds me a lot of cities in Madagascar only cleaner.

beautiful city, Maputo is really the single city in the world which doesn't have poor people or misery or dilapidated districts or poverty.
Everything is magnificent in Maputo, it is here in Maputo the paradise on earth.
That's only wealthiness and wealth in maputo and nothing else.
