MOZAMBIQUE-ECONOMY-POVERTY-SOCIAL-FILES
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY JINTY JACKSON
(FILES) A file photo taken on October 14, 2014 shows a people sifting through garbage at the Maputo municipal garbage dump site in Maputo. In a foul-smelling, brown fog, hundreds of stooped figures pick their way like ghosts across an ocean of garbage while herons wheel and dive over their heads. More than 900 tons of waste are dumped daily in this landfill in Mozambique's capital, Maputo, a city of more than a million people. Over an area the size of 17 football fields, layer upon layer of garbage is piled as high as a three-storey building. In places, it spills over into the surrounding residential neighbourhood. The southern African country has been ranked among the 10 fastest-growing economies in the world over the past decade, even before significant dividends from the fossil fuels have begun to flow in.
