Under his leadership, the Mozambican people defeated Portuguese colonialism. He was a symbol of unity, a source of great inspiration for all progressive humanity. His warm personality, his deep love for the people was a shining example. He was an outstanding teacher, who taught the Mozambican people to overcome the divisive problems of racism, tribalism, obscurantism, self-ambition, apathy, incompetence, corruption and ignorance. Under his leadership, the Mozambican people scored achievements in education, health and the construction of the national economy. He created conditions for the emergence of the Mozambican nation.
