A Guide to Doing Business with Mozambique

Introduction

Mozambique has been under Portuguese influence and rule for 500 years.

As a result, the culture of the country is a mix of Latin Portuguese and

African. Before European presence, Mozambique was visited by traders

from all over the world, more precisely Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Persians

and others attracted by gold, which was then mined in the Mwenemutapa

Empire. Such presence is still reflected in the country.

About 90% of the Mozambican population is of African origin. The

remaining 10% is mixed race or Caucasian. More than 30% of the

population professes to be Christian and 15% Moslem, with the rest

classified as spiritualist. The percentage of non-believers in the country

is negligible, such that for every major project spiritual leaders from local

chieftancies are called in to perform a traditional ceremony to evoke the

ancestors’ spirits and wish the project well. Failure to perform such a

ceremony is considered disrespectful to local culture and, for believers,

any obstacles the project encounters may be attributed to the lack of such

ceremonies.

Country at a Glance

Population Estimates suggest that Mozambique has a population of more than 23 million.

Languages

Portuguese is the official language. English is widely spoken and has been declared the commercial language. However, several national languages are spoken, namely Tsonga, Shona, Emakwa and Kiswahili. Tsonga is spoken in the south (Gaza, Maputo, Inhambane – the latter also has other languages, xiChopi and Bitonga); several variants of Shona are spoken in the central region (Ndau, Ximanyika, Xitewe in Manica province; Ndau, Sena in Sofala, Nyungué and Chewa in Tete); Echuabo and Lomwé are spoken in Zambezia Province and Emacua in Nampula; (south of Niassa and in Cabo-Delgado), are spoken in variants of the Kiswahili language, including Yao in Niassa, and Kimuani in Pemba as well as Ximaconde.

Geography and Climate

Mozambique is located on the south-east coast of the African continent

with the following co-ordinates: 18 15 S, 35 00 E. It borders Tanzania

and Malawi to the north, Zambia and Zimbabwe to the west, the Indian

Ocean to the east and South Africa, Swaziland and Botswana to the

south.

The country covers 801 590km², of which 13 000km² is water. The

Mozambique coastline stretches 2 500km and has a humid, sub-

tropical climate; dry and cooler conditions are experienced on the

plateau. Tsangano District in Tete Province has the mildest climate,

with the Angonia plateau recording sub-zero temperatures in winter.

The south of Tete is the warmest region in Mozambique, with

temperatures rising to more than 35ºC. The provinces of Niassa and

Manica have a mild climate.

Page 11: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

Rainfall is good and water abundant. The rainy season tends to bring

flooding, while drought is common in the dry season, largely as a result

of poor water management infrastructure. Administration agencies

ARA Norte, ARA Centro, ARA Sul and FIPAG are responsible for water

management.

VISA Requirements

Citizens of the Southern African Development Community (SADC),

excluding Angola, can enter Mozambique without a visa if they hold

a valid passport. Citizens from other countries must either obtain a

visa from the Mozambican embassy in their own country or at the

Mozambique border post.

Overview of Industry and Infrastructure

Mozambique’s industrial parks are small, light and concentrated in

the major cities of Matola, Beira, Dondo and Nacala. This situation is

rapidly changing with the creation of freed development and industrial

zones such as Beleluane in Maputo Province, Manga-Mungassa in

Sofala Province and Tete Industrial Park.

Economic Overview

The Mozambican economy is characterised by stable inflation, which

is reported to have averaged about 10% for the last five years. The

following sectors positively contributed to the development of the

economy: Agriculture 15%; manufacturing 14%; trade and services

12%; transport and communication 13%; financial services 7%; and

rental and other 27%.

Source: Bank of Mozambique February 2012

In terms of gross domestic product (GDP), agriculture is the leading sector in Mozambique, followed by manufacturing, and trade and

services.

A Guide to Doing Business with Mozambique

Security

Mozambique is a safe, stable country with no civil war or violence.

The armed forces are made up of a small contingent of about 30 000

strong, among which are members of the air force and navy. The navy

comprises small patrolling boats and the air force a single helicopter.

This will soon change, however, as dozens of young pilots are being

trained abroad and at local military academies; the same applies to the

navy. Joint defence accords are in place in the SADC region, such that

the South African Navy is currently jointly patrolling the Mozambican

waters, particularly up north where incidents of Somali pirates have

been reported. The country still uses the practice of conscripts, training

about 12 000 new troops every year.

Business Culture

The business culture is westernised, but with a strong Mozambican

flavour. Mozambicans are usually friendly, but negotiations may take

place several times before a deal is clinched. Constant communication

Page 19: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

and follow-up is very important because Mozambicans like to establish

a relationship with potential business partners that is based on trust.

Business Hours

Business hours for public offices are from 7:30 to 15:30. Private

businesses, especially those run by the Portuguese community, usually

take a long lunch break of about two hours during which it is common

practice to enjoy a glass of wine. These businesses operate from 7:30

to 12:30 and from 14:30 to 17:30.

Some banks are open on Saturdays, from 9:00 to 13:00, with the

exception of those that have flexible working hours or are run or

owned by the Portuguese community. It is therefore best to make an

appointment and be prepared to wait. The secretaries will normally

offer you cashew nuts and coffee while you wait for the so doctore,

who are not to be confused with holders of doctoral degrees as this

term is merely used to refer to a powerful person or first degree holder.

Doctorate holders are known as professores.

A Guide to Doing Business with Mozambique

Investment Climate

The investment climate in Mozambique is friendly. The Government

has declared a number of Economic Free Zones, including Nacala,

Beira and Beleluane, as well as several investment incentives.

Foreign exchange control: Incoming capital must be registered with

the bank of Mozambique. Foreign currency-designated accounts may

be opened and the funds retained. Mozambique’s accounting system is

based on the French system. In 2007, the country’s commercial banks

adopted the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The Government has three investment promotion agencies, namely

the CPI (general investment), GAZEDA (Special Development Zones)

and the Office of Minister (Planning and Development), which caters

for investments worth more than a billion dollars.

Land in Mozambique is not for sale and cannot constitute a guarantee for

the purposes of financial services. Investors are urged not to engage in

Page 21: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus
Page 22: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

20

A Guide to Doing Business with Mozambique

secret deals for land with local chieftaincies and/or lay persons. Lengthy

consultation processes need to be followed when dealing with investment

in land development so as to avoid the occupation of land reserved for

local communities. Land may, however, be leased from the state for up to

50 years on a renewable basis. Any other financial transactions outside

a small leasing fee that is paid annually to the state coffers may result in

serious losses for the investor and the Mozambican Government cannot

be held responsible. South African investors are therefore urged to treat

with suspicion any advertisements of land for sale in Mozambique.

Taxation

Corporate taxation: A company is considered resident in Mozambique

if its head office or place of effective management control is in the

country or if the business is registered in Mozambique.

Taxable income: All income and gains are taxable. A non-resident

company, however, is only subject to tax on its income produced in

Mozambique.

Page 23: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

Taxation on dividends: Dividends are subject to 20% tax, shares 10%

and royalties 20%. Capital gains or losses are classified as ordinary

income and taxed at company rates. Corporate tax in Mozambique

is 32%. A non-resident remunerated for technical services is subject

to 20% tax. In urban areas, municipality taxes are fixed at 0,4% for

a residence and 0,7% of the value of the urban property. Stamp duty

is calculated at 0,4% and applies for shares transference. A transfer

tax of 2% is normally paid by the transferee and is charged on the

transfer of title. Companies are required to make their tax payments in

May, July and September and penalties for late payment and failure to

disclose records range from US$100 to US$33 000; interest is charged

on late payment. The prison term for tax fraud can go up to eight years.

Social security: The employer pays 4% of the income of staff

members.

Individual taxations: Personal income tax is fixed at 29,9% on

modality of Pay As You Earn (PAYE). The highest income tax rate is

Page 24: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

22

A Guide to Doing Business with Mozambique

fixed at 32% and applies to monthly income tax of US$30,000. A 25%

rate is charged upon incomes of US$9,000. Inheritance tax ranges

from 2% to 10%, depending on the amount.

Value-added tax (VAT) is charged for certain goods and/or services

at a rate of 17% and companies need to have their unique tax

number (NUIT). Mozambique tax authorities are known as Autoridade

Tributária de Moçambique.

Use of Agents

It is common for companies to employ accountancy firms to handle

their accounts and tax affairs.

Forms of Payment

Bank transfer, cheque, cash or debit cards

Customs Clearance

There are a number of customs clearance agents in Mozambique.

Advantages for South African Companies

• Mozambique allows for the repatriation of profits. This is very

important for investors. The country has worked hard to improve

the ease of doing business.

• Mozambique is South Africa’s biggest neighbouring country, with a

population of about 23 million people.

• Mozambique has one of the highest economic growth rates in the

world.

Page 27: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOUTH AFRICAN COMPANIES

Agriculture

Less than 10% of Mozambique’s agricultural land is currently being

cultivated. This is important given the good annual rainfall across the

country. A number of South African farmers have set up operations in

Mozambique and established an association to assist farmers wanting

to invest in agriculture in the country.

Agro-Processing

New investments in agriculture mean more opportunities are opening

up for the processing of products.

Extractive Industry

A number of mining products are available in Mozambique, the biggest

of which is already being exported, namely coal. The availability

of hydrocarbons (gas and oil), heavy mineral sands, base metals,

pegmatite, tantalite, diamonds, gold and industrial minerals has also

Page 28: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

26

A Guide to Doing Business with Mozambique

been confirmed. Opportunities in the mining of these products exist in

support services such as capital equipment and engineering.

Electro-technical The following energy projects are proposed for Mozambique:

Two back-bone electricity power lines from Tete to Maputo; and

New hydro-power dams, namely, Cahora Bassa north, M’panda N’kwa,

Boroma, Mutarara, Lúrio and an unspecified number of small hydro-

electric dams.

The Mozambican Government is said to have identified at least 100

locations with the potential for hydropower dams in the provinces

of Gaza, Manica, Tete, Nampula, Niassa and Sofala. Currently, the

country has a potential 15 000MW of electricity per year, but is only

exploiting 2 100MW. By 2020, the Mozambican authorities hope to

have the country electrified as shown in Figure 5, after obtaining

approval from Parliament for the participation of the private sector in

energy production and distribution.

Source EDM – Master plan

As per 2009, the Mozambique total installed capacity was about

2,308 GW, with hydro-power a dominant sector accounting for 99,7%.

Currently, about 60% of the electricity generated by Cahora-Bassa is

consumed by MOZAL, 30% by South Africa and 10% by Mozambique,

where the growing demand for electrical power has risen to seven to

eight per cent per year from a modest rate of one to two per cent.

Solar Energy

Expert reports suggest that Mozambique has huge and virtually

unexploited solar potential, with an annual incident solar radiation

distributed evenly across the country of about 1.49 million GHz.

Page 32: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

A Guide to Doing Business with Mozambique

Windmill-powered energy

In the spirit of promoting clean energy, wind measurements are said to

be taking place at Ponta-do Oro in the Maputo Province and Tofinho in

the Inhambane Province. The rest of Mozambique’s 2 700km coastline

also displays huge potential as do the abundant highlands on the west

of the country.

Bio-fuels

The wide use of bio-mass suggests that small and medium enterprises

can participate in almost all stages of the production chain of bio-fuels

in the country, using bagasse waste from the sugar industry, copra

waste from the coconut industry and many other sources that assist

the country in building a powerful power industry based on clean bio-

mass.

Hydrocarbon-powered electricity

Almost all companies exploiting coal in the western province of Tete

have stated that they intend to build coal-fired power stations. Some,

Page 33: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

such as Nkondedzi Coal, aim to exclusively produce coal for electricity

generation and export. This presents an opportunity for the electro-

technical industry. Coal is also abundant in the north-western province

of Niassa.

Capital Equipment

Opportunities in this sector are driven by the mining boom as well as

new energy projects proposed in Mozambique. It is reported that there

are more than 50 companies at different stages of mining in Tete,

presenting considerable opportunities for South African suppliers of

capital equipment and other mining machinery.

Water

The management of the country’s abundant water supply is still a

challenge for Mozambique. As a result, many investment opportunities

exist in projects such as irrigation dams, water reservoirs, hydro-

electric dams, wells, water pipelines, and river and coastal protection.

Page 34: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

32

A Guide to Doing Business with Mozambique

The authorities in charge of water projects are ARA Sul (southern

region water authority), ARA Centro (central region) and ARA Norte

(northern region), all of which are independent institutions owing to the

regional characteristics and specificities of each region. FIPAG is the

national Delegated Management of Urban Water Supply Services in

Mozambique (www.fipag.co.mz).

The following website will provide more information on what is required

to become involved in water supply in the country:

www.ppiaf.org/sites/ppiaf.org/files/publication/Mozambique_water_

supply_case_study.pdf

Built Environment

Mozambique plans to invest in a number of projects to upgrade rail,

road and ports to cater for the mining boom, the potential of which is

being hampered by the country’s poor infrastructure. Rail connects

Mozambique to inland countries, with little north to south connections,

which makes transportation within the country impossible. Plans are

Page 35: A GUIDE TO DOING BUSINESS WITH MOZAMBIQUE...Photos are royalty-free stock images, courtesy of the dti Photo Library, Stock.xching () and Media Club South Africa (). the dti Campus

in place to correct the situation. A number of rail port options are being

considered to increase the export capacity of coal from Tete Province.

Tourism

The Government developed a programme known as Arco Norte to

identify specific tourism projects across the country, with emphasis

on the northern provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula, Niassa and

Zambeze. Details of Arco Norte are available on request.
