The Inter-Regional Meeting of the Bishops of Southern Africa (IMBISA) concluded its visit in Pemba.
On the 29thNovember – 3rd December, Fr. Dumisani Vilakati, representing IMBISA, had the good fortune of visiting the Diocese of Pemba in the Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique. The aim of the visit was to see and experience first-hand the life of the Church in this area of Northern Mozambique. This was important given that IMBISA had issued two statements calling for peace in Cabo Delgado.
In sweltering heat, I was warmly welcomed by the Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Pemba, Bishop Juliasse Sandramo. The Bishop’s house was to be the place of residence throughout my stay in Pemba. I was also welcomed by other staff at the Diocesan Chancery, Caritas Pemba and not least Fr. Frederico Antonio, one of the priests of the Diocese of Pemba, whom I had known since my days at the Pontifical College of St. Paul in Rome.
