Two large Mozambican textile factories, paralysed for years, may reopen later in 2008, according to the National Director of Industry, Sergio Macamo.
One is Texlom, in the southern industrial city of Matola, which has been silent for the past decade. The Portuguese company that managed the plant, Sogetex, abandoned it in 1997.
The factory has now been acquired by the Aga Khan Foundation, which intends to revive it, at first, as a clothing factory. Initially, it will employ a work force of 600 women.
