Antonio Muchanga had to be asked to leave the studio
MAPUTO, June 25 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Mozambique’s main opposition party Renamo has apologised for the embarrassing behaviour of Antonio Muchanga, one of its most prominent MPs, who appeared drunk on a TV political discussion show.
Muchanga was so inebriated when he was on Pontos de Vista (Points of View) on STV on Sunday that the programme’s moderator had to ask him to leave the studio.
It caused an uproar – with expressions of shock, condemnation and amusement – but for two days there was no reaction from Renamo.
That was until its spokesman, Jose Manteigas, told news site Carta de Mocambique that Muchanga’s behaviour had been a disgrace to the party.
He said Renamo did not expect its members to drink a bottle of whisky and then appear on a TV programme – and Muchanga might face disciplinary action. — NNN-AGENCIES
