Mozambique: more than 90 people die in shipwreck. Local authorities said the fishing boat was overloaded with 130 people on board.
“The boat sank because it was overloaded and unsuitable for carrying passengers. 91 people lost their lives,” said Jaime Neto, secretary of state for the northern province of Nampula. The boat was converted from a fishing boat to a ferry and had 130 passengers on board, local authorities said on Sunday. The boat sank off the coast of Mozambique.
