history

In the 1930s, a school building was built in Afaçá by district administrator Armando Eduardo Pinto Correia . The facade of the Escola do Reino no Kelikai are still standing.

In 1977 the inhabitants of Afaçá fled from the Indonesian invaders to the Matebian . There they settled in a resistance base ( base de apoio ). In October 1978, the Indonesian attacks on the base began. On November 22nd, the FALINTIL was overrun by the invaders. You can still visit caves that were used by the resistance fighters as refuge.

Between 1979 and 1981, residents of Afaçá and Quelicai were forcibly relocated to Mulia (Laga administrative office).
