Do you know anything about the following report?

** MOZAMBIQUE (probably). 7135, R. Terra Verde, a SW relay of an FM
station in Maputo said to have strong links with Renamo (previously a
terrorist movement, now the official opposition party, who used to run
A Voz da Africa Livre many years ago). Noted from 1100 tune-in to
almost 1800, but gone at 1900 re-check. In vernaculars, but mainly in
Portuguese with PT news at 1300 and 1700. Probably a test; they
mentioned being heard in almost all Mozambican provinces and in Zambia
and Zimbabwe. No contact details have been offered. A very good signal
here, but I doubt that this is a Meyerton relay -- the frequency moved
up 0.08 kHz in a couple of hours, and this would be quite
uncharacteristic of Sentech. Noted again yesterday and today but I did
not have a chance to check the s/on and s/off times yet (Vaclav
Korinek, RSA, DXplorer via DXLD) Date? Not 1 April by any chance? (gh)
