Culture and People of Mozambique

Mozambique's history probably mirrors the experience of many southern African countries: the displacement of indigenous hunter-gathers by Bantu tribes, the establishment of various cultures and kingdoms, and the arrival of overseas colonisers and an exploitative relationship.

A painful, but familiar, period of rebellion, independence struggle and post-colonial mismanagement followed. Testament to the Mozambican people is the persistence of art, culture and religious beliefs in the face of the country's many historical and current challenges.
