Machel II cabinet
The Machel II cabinet formed the second government of the People's Republic of Mozambique , which came into office after the end of Portuguese colonial administration and the socialist- oriented liberation movement FRELIMO , which came to power as a result of the country's declaration of independence on June 25, 1975 . The president of the state was Samora Machel since June 1975 .
Course of tenure
President Samora Machel initiated a cabinet reshuffle at the beginning of 1986 in order to give the ruling FRELIMO party a stronger political role vis-à-vis the state administration. At the same time, it was intended to streamline departmental responsibilities.
Samora Machel herself, two members of the government and other high-ranking government officials were killed in a plane crash on October 19 not far from the Mozambican-South African border when they were about to return to Mozambique from an international meeting in Zambia . The subsequent government was led by Joaquim Alberto Chissano .
