South African President Cyril Ramaphosa sent his buddy Sydney Mufamadi on a special trip to Mozambique, the country next door. Mufamadi was there to chat with their president, Filipe Nyusi.
Ramaphosa wanted Mufamadi to help sort out some problems in Mozambique. The country was a big mess after the recent election, and lots of people were super mad about how it went down.
The opposition people think the election was rigged. Their main guy, Venancio Mondlane, says "no way" to the results. He told his supporters to keep protesting in the streets until they got their way.
On the other hand, the ruling party, Frelimo, and its boss, Daniel Chapo, insist they won fair and square. They aren't backing down.
President Ramaphosa really wants everyone just to chill out and figure this thing out. He's trying to get the Frelimo folks and the opposition to sit down and work it out. Hopefully, they can find a way to make both sides happy and get Mozambique back on track.
