FORMER Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda on Sunday joined senior Southern African Development Community (SADC) parliamentarians at a special church service in Cape Town to call for cancellation of Mozambique’s international debt. Kaunda told the gathering in St. George’s Cathedral that the debt largely stemmed from Mozambique’s fight against apartheid and racism. “It is now time for the world to repay its debt to Mozambique,” Kaunda said, adding the country’s problems had been exacerbated by the devastating floods in February. He and the speaker of South Africa’s National Assembly, Frene Ginwala, symbolically cut chains off a map of Mozambique, to applause from the congregation. Molefe Tsele, national chair of the Jubilee 2000 Campaign — which is spearheading a campaign for the cancellation of Third World debt — said it was costing Mozambique $1.4-million a week just to service its debt.
