“Mohamed 1938”

I took the “Mohamed 1938” pic today while the muezzin called for noon prayers from Maputo’s oldest mosque, Jumma Masjid, in the Baixa, the old city. 
Fifty metres away from the mosque is the Tel-Aviv restaurant, exactly as it was in the 195

0s, still serving good and cheap food. Next to it, the sadly crumbling colonial house is Maputo's oldest.
Right next to the mosque is rua de Bagamoyo, a Rua do Pecado, the seedy Red Light district with its strip show clubs and bars, cheap hotels, sidewalk liquor sellers, sailors, sex workers, drunks and loud music.
Live and let live.
All this in two blocks. Is there a lesson in tolerance in the Baixa of Maputo.
