This was the day eagerly awaited by the Jamat of Mozambique and all those who had made the special visit from other countries to see their Imam. Thousands of murids from Mozambique, Portugal and across the world, gathered in the once empty premises of the Texlon factory, now splendidly renovated and decorated for the occasion. President Amirali Bhanji of the Ismaili Council for Portugal submitted a loyalty address on behalf of the Mozambique Jamat, which falls in that Country’s area of jurisdiction. As he arrived into the hall, Hazar Imam took the time to look at a display of paintings and works of art by children of all ages from the Mozambique Jamat.
Later in the day, Mawlana Hazar Imam departed for Pemba and was received by the Governor of Cabo Delgado province, Eliseu Joaquim Machava.
