With our aim to grow our already expansive African footprint, we have joined hands with Mozambique Voyages to form Sense of Oceans – a division that will take both organisations into a new phase of exploring travel possibilities throughout the Indian Ocean, starting with Mozambique. Sense of Oceans combines the expertise of two successful organisations. Mozambique Voyages specialises in both self-drive and tailor-made holidays in Mozambique and are known for providing travellers with an unprecedented level of access and specialisation to ensure truly unforgettable travel experiences. On the other hand, Tourvest Destination Management’s heritage and reputation as one of the best destination management companies in Africa is proven by our inbound business unit being the largest ground handler of foreign tourists to Africa. Our network includes offices in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Uganda, creating a sustainable competitive advantage for our global network of travel partners. Combining years of experience and insight, Sense of Oceans is now the most experienced, on- the-ground tour operator specialising in Mozambique, with an impressive offering across southern Africa. Since Mozambique has so much to offer and the opportunities to explore are endless, an experienced partner like Sense of Oceans is invaluable. The country lends itself to self-drive trips, which is perfect for the more budget-conscious traveller, but can also be tailored for those who prefer to travel in luxury. 4 5 About Us “Bem Vinda!” A warm Portuguese “Welcome!” Our Home Mozambique is a country of contrasts, offering complete peace and serenity as well as the hustle and bustle of an energetic local community. From the tranquillity of its stunning azure waters and untouched white beaches to buzzing fish markets and jovial locals, a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience is guaranteed. Perhaps the most exciting travel destination on the African continent at the moment, Mozambique offers travellers a wealth of experiences to enjoy. They can delight in discovering abundant and colourful coral reefs or get up close and personal with majestic whale sharks while scuba diving. For shore-based visitors, the growing national parks and the idyllic tropical islands are great for exploring. The diverse cultural experience in Mozambique is also very unique. The Arab and Portuguese influences in its history can still be seen and experienced today, especially in its historic architecture, mouth-watering dishes and fresh seafood prepared by highly talented chefs. Considered as the last undiscovered pearl of the Indian Ocean, the country combines a wealth of sights, sounds, tastes and experiences that delight all the senses. Although there have always been spectacular beaches to explore along the Indian Ocean, the coast has seen an increase in new and intriguing eco-friendly properties being developed over the past few years, catering for a more upscale international market. With such a wide range of options on offer, Mozambique is the ideal destination for honeymooners, families, scuba divers as well as self-drive enthusiasts and can also easily be combined with other African itineraries. There is no shortage of accommodation, ranging from Self-catering, Catered, Guest Houses to Bed & Breakfasts, 3, 4 and 5 star hotels, Lodges and Resorts. There’s simply no reason not to visit! 6 7 Our People Martijn Mellaart isn’t known as Mr Mozambique for no reason. He started Mozambique Voyages 20 years ago and became the original tourism pioneer in this stunning, mostly untouched part of Africa. Martijn travelled from coast to coast to intimately get to know Mozambique and its hidden gems, along with other countries. Martijn’s team is passionate about travel and are driven to always go above and beyond to keep their customers happy and make sure their clients get exactly what they’re looking for, and more. Well-travelled and knowledgeable, our staff regularly visit our suppliers in Mozambique to gain extensive product knowledge, so that they’re able to answer any questions swiftly, accurately and with confidence. 8 9 Our Product Offering Self-Drive Travel On the road to discovery Mozambique offers self-drive options throughout the country, and along main road networks. The road infrastructure is much improved, however it is advised to book a 4WD or SUV as the higher clearance is safer. Experiential Travel A unique experience, crafted just for you Our expert consultants combine experience, creativity, skill and an ability to understand the specifics of every unique client’s travel preference to create the perfect custom designed itinerary. Packages can be amended to suite each individual traveller’s needs, budget and expectations. Family Holidays The quintessential African family holiday Mozambique is the perfect family-friendly holiday destination. There is something for everyone – from beaches and water sports for the kids, to rest, relaxation and even night life for the adults. Many of the hotels and resorts around the country are child friendly and offer child-minding facilities. Special Occasions Celebrate your special occasion in a tropical paradise There’s no better way to say “congratulations” than by spending time with friends and family on a special occasion trip – be that for a wedding, a milestone anniversary, birthday or family reunion. Mozambique is a popular honeymoon destination with a variety of luxury and private beach or island resorts to choose from. Accommodation The best that Mozambique has to offer for all tastes and budgets We pride ourselves on presenting our guests with the best properties that Mozambique has to offer. From exclusive private island resorts to family-friendly resorts, hotels and B&B’s, you can rest assured that all accommodation has been experienced first-hand and comes highly recommended. Meet and Greet services For an effortless and enjoyable travel experience From tracking down lost luggage on arrival to personalised check-ins, our highly skilled team will assist your customers to ensure a safe, effortless and enjoyable travel experience. 10 11 Sustainable tourism in practice We are responsible and accountable for the role we play in the countries in which we operate; economically, socially and environmentally.

Entre actualités, diérents challenges, cris du cœur et solidarité, les réseaux sociaux sont inondés de ce slogan que l’on pourrait traduire ici et en quelque sorte par « Ce que nous n’approuvons pas ».

    Applying the principles of Missio Dei: Ministering to the Mozambican migrants in the North West province of South Africa F RODRIGUES FILHO orcid.org/ 0000-0001-6945-3815 Dissertation accepted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters in Missiology at the North-West University Supervisor: Prof. P.J. (Flip) Buys Graduation ceremony: May 2020 Student number: 28032195 PREFACE This dissertation is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree (Missiology) at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University. It contains work done from April 2015 to October 2019. During the field research and investigation for this dissertation I was assisted by Prof. Flip Buys as supervisor. He helped me to organize and transcribe all data collected during this period. The material collected during the research resulted in the finalization of this thesis as well as the publication of an article: Eyes on the Border: The Social and Religious Analysis of the Communities of Mozambicans from the North West Region of South Africa. Both are the result of visits, interviews and cooperative work with the Mozambican community residing in the North West Province. Initially the idea was to produce an anthropological study with a cultural and missiological analysis of poor communities in Africa, Paraguay, and Brazil. However, as I am a missionary sent from Brazil to train new Portuguese-speaking Mozambican leaders, my supervisor and I agreed that researching how to apply the principles of Missio Dei in migrant communities in the North West Province could produce relevant and practical material. This research could help my avocation, as well as future missionaries and churches who want to operate in this same region.

GENERAL OVERVIEW Mozambique was colonized by Portugal for nearly 500 years before gaining independence in 1975. The new country faced a devastating civil war and fiscal difficulties upon independence, and was unable to develop a secure government or economy until the 1990s. Free and fair elections, as well as economic reform, improved overall stability. However, high-level corruption in the Mozambican government appears to have increased in recent years. Mozambique faces many additional challenges today, including a struggling economy, extremely limited infrastructure, and high levels of crime and disease. Mozambique is located in southeastern Africa, and borders Malawi, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the Indian Ocean. The climate is generally tropical, though some variation exists depending on location. Mozambique's capital, Maputo, is located in the south. Virtually all of the Mozambican population is ethnically African and divided into smaller tribal groups. The official language is Portuguese, though Emakhuwa is most widely spoken. English is also spoken in tourist areas. The population is religiously diverse, with some 50 percent practicing Christianity of some form.

  • Fact Finding Airports Southern Africa
    2015 FACT FINDING SOUTHERN AFRICA Advancing your Aerospace and Airport Business FACT FINDING SOUTHERN AFRICA SUMMARY GENERAL Africa is home to seven of the world’s top 10 growing economies in 2015. According to UN estimates, the region’s GDP is expected to grow 30 percent in the next five years. And in the next 35 years, the continent will account for more than half of the world’s population growth. It is obvious that the potential in Africa is substantial. However, African economies are still to unlock their potential. The aviation sector in Africa faces restrictive air traffic regimes preventing the continent from using major economic benefits. Aviation is vital for the progress in Africa. It provides 6,9 million jobs and US$ 80 million in GDP with huge potential to increase. Many African governments have therefore, made infrastructure developments in general and airport related investments in particular as one of their priorities to facilitate future growth for their respective country and continent as a whole. Investment is underway across a number of African airports, as the region works to provide the necessary infrastructure to support the continent’s growth ambitions. South Africa is home to most of the airports handling 1+ million passengers in Southern Africa. According to international data 4 out of 8 of those airports are within South African Territory.
