WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A VEHICLE / OTHER PERSONS• If the accident is between vehicles or persons do
not remove your vehicle before the police arrive at scene of the accident
• If a person is injured (but not badly) put him in a vehicle (not the one involved in a collision with another vehicle) and take him and someone who knows the person to the nearest hospital and ask the medical doctor or assistant to call the police
• Show the police your drivers licence, car papers and insurance of your vehicle
• Call the insurance company to assist you, never admit your guilt, only tell the truth of what happened
• Contact the Gaza tourism association ASINHOS, DRIVEMOZ on ZELLO, your destination resort or reservation agent
• In case of a death, for your protection, wait at the police station for assistance.
WHAT TO DO IF STOPPED BY THE TRAFFIC POLICE• Traffic police are dressed in a white shirt and blue
trousers, only they can fine you for traffic offenses, only they have receipt books
• Put on your indicator and pull over• Remove your sun-glasses and turn the music down
(a sign of respect and trust) • Greet the officer politely, never be rude • Wait for him to ask what he wants & check he is
wearing his badge or ask for his ID before showing your identification - do not deal with anyone without ID
• If you are guilty of an offence first apologise• If he does not ‘forgive’ you insist on the handwritten
official receipt, this will stop bogus fines • You can pay the fine on the spot - but then insist on
an official receipt, this will stop bogus fines • OR, if not a serious offence, you can pay the fine
within 15 days at a police station (*see article from Road Decree below)
• If you have handed over your papers and they are not returned and/or you are being harassed or threatened, phone ASINHOS, DRIVEMOZ on ZELLO or travel to the next police station and report it
• Do not be scared or intimidated and do not get aggressive
• Insist on a receipt, stop bogus fines and help stamp out bribery and corruption
• Police in grey uniforms or green camo are civil police and cannot fine you for traffic offenses - they do not carry fine/receipt books. They can arrest you for crimes eg assault, theft, pubic disturbance, contraband, murder etc
• Remember that only traffic police, in blue and white, can charge you for traffic offenses
If you require advice regarding an accident or police please contact your insurance company, resort destination or the Gaza Tourism Association - ASINHOS on (+258) 823 969 890, or call DRIVEMOZ on ZELLO*Art. 172: Cumprimento voluntário (multas): 1.

Anopheles) is not born with malaria - she has to feed on someone who has malaria before she is infected
• She feeds from evening till morning • Be very strict about applying repellents during
this time • If you are infected - and have not taken any
prophylactics - symptoms will appear around 10 days (aching body, sore joints, headache, vomiting, diarrhoea)
• If you have taken prophylactics, symptoms can take up to 3 months to appear. Remember to tell your doctor you have been in a malaria area
• If you are still in Mozambique, go to clinic/hospital for a test and take the medication supplied (normally a 3 day course)
• Do not delay if you suspect you have malaria - it is fatal if untreated!
There is also a private clinic in Xai-Xai. The doctor can be contacted on +258 829 254 765.There are also numerous pharmacies in town where malaria tests and medication may be purchased.
