Valentina Guebuza, the daughter of former Mozambican President Armando Guebuza, murdered by her husband last Wednesday, was laid to rest in Maputo’s Lhanguene cemetery on Saturday, after a funeral service in the Presbyterian church in Chamanculo neighbourhood.

Among the many mourners was Guebuza’s successor, President Filipe Nyusi, who delivered a message of comfort and solidarity to the Guebuza family.

“We are here to transmit our solidarity”, said Nyusi, “and to say that the Mozambican people whom you knew and know are with you, are with your family at this difficult moment of the premature departure of the young Valentina da Luz Guebuza”.

36 year old Valentina Guebuza was shot dead by her husband, Zófimo Muiuane, in the couple’s Maputo home.
