Comunidades moçambicanas na diáspora: relacionamento institucional entre o estado e as comunidades 1975-2000: estudo de caso realizado em Durban, Joanesburgo e Nelsprut

Abstract

The institutional relationship between the state and communities in the diaspora is a case study in Durban, Johannesburg and Nelspruit 1975-2000. The work studies the relationship between the institutions of the States of Mozambique and South Africa with Mozambican emigrants in that country. The aim is to understand how this relationship takes place and what are the problems that influence its dynamics. The institutional relationship between the State and the communities suffers from problems due to the remarkable disarticulation between the State institutions, and these, with the communities. On the other hand, communities do not show interest in associativism, which negatively influences this relationship. This situation results from the lack of a Mozambican migration policy suited to the interests of migrants, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, from the difficulties of harmonizing political discourse and the attitude of the police and South African employers towards immigrants. As a result, several cases of violation of the rights of emigrants in South Africa are notable and reported without there being a clear answer about them. There are also difficulties on the part of the Mozambican authorities in giving a clear answer to these violations. The literature used focuses on works related to the study of migratory flows in the two countries and in Southern Africa in general, as well as interviews. This methodology allowed for the idea that much remains to be done in the study and management of migratory flows between Mozambique and South Africa and in Southern Africa in general(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
