The Angolan government keeps jobs in Media Nova group

Attn. The following companies were created with public money, as they did not return the stolen money on time, the government has now the right to receive these companies and the workers should sigh with relief because they are now depending on the government. 

Luanda - Angolan government has pledged to maintain jobs in some media outlets of Media Nova Group - O País, Rádio Mais and TV Zimbo - whose management has been taken over by the State.

The pledge came from the incumbent minister of Telecommunications, Information Technologies and Media, Manuel Homem.

Manuel Home promised to maintain the editorial line of these companies, despite the new context.

Speaking on the sidelines of a meeting with the Media Nova Group board, the minister ruled out any interference in the editorial line.

According to him, the State intends to maintain the plurality and diversity of information in the country.

Manuel Homem said that the conditions have been created for the normality of the group's companies to remain, having announced the intention of selling them to the private sector, via public tender.

The State took over the management of TV Zimbo, Rádio Mais and the newspaper O País, as part of the process to recover assets created with public funds, under Government's strategy to fight corruption, according to a note from the Attorney General's Office (PGR).

President congratulates African woman

The President of the Republic of Angola, João Lourenço, Friday congratulated the African women for their day marked today, stressing their action in education, support of families and in all dimensions of the fight for the dignity of African societies.

In a message on July 31 (African Women's Day), President João Lourenço said that the date "finds Africa plunged into a difficult struggle against the impetuous advance of Covid-19".

In this scenario, the message continues, the role and contribution of women, both in the front line of health care and within the family, are highlighted.

He stresses that the "fearless" African woman is once again put to the test "in a context where poverty tends to worsen due to the direct and indirect implications of the pandemic that plagues the planet".

Among the implications of the pandemic he pointed out "the abrupt increase in unemployment numbers among their peers, when they are not themselves affected by the instability of employment opportunities".

Finally, João Lourenço salutes women throughout Africa and in particular Angolan women, and reaffirms his confidence in their ability to deal with adversity.
