Where s our money The Madgermanes of Mozambique, DW Documentary
They take to the streets with German flags, drums, and whistles: In Mozambiques capital city of Maputo, the Madgermanes are demanding justice. Julio Faizal Lakha is one of them. He went to the former East Germany four decades ago on the promise of a good education and wellpaid work. But the reality was less than ideal. Half of his wages were withheld and deferred until later. Around 17 thousand other contract workers suffered the same fate. Most returned to Mozambique after Germanys reunification. They have yet to receive the wages they are owed. And so, loudly, and rhythmically, they continue to demonstrate deep in southern Africa, every Wednesday at 11:00. A report by Marc Erath.
