Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 71412, member: 636"] The historian and cultural manager Rui Laranjeira, a co-founder of the Mafalanda Museum, has died at age 54. His passing followed an illness and occurred at Maputo Central Hospital. Laranjeira, who held a master's degree in Cultural Heritage Management, was deeply passionate about Maputo's urban music and social history. His career combined academia with a dedication to researching cultural heritage and developing alternative narratives for the city's periphery. He was instrumental in creating the Mafalala Museum, leading its research, community concept, and exhibition development. A funeral service for him was held, including a wake at the museum, a mass at Maputo's Cathedral, and a burial at Lhanguene Cemetery. [/QUOTE]
