PROSPECTS for peace in Mozambique are getting brighter by the day as it is increasingly becoming evident that neither the FRELIMO government nor the rebel RENAMO movement can win control of the entire country. This is mainly along the Beira and Maputo corridors and the large privately-owned estates where hired security personnel guard plantations. RENAMO also seems to be losing financial support from its major sponsors South Africa and right-wing groups in the United States. Quite aware that time is running out, RENAMO leader Alfonso Dlakama, met President Robert Mugabe and Sir Ketumile Masire in Gaborone this month. He clearly pointed out that there was no need for the war in Mozambique to continue.
