Building of the Cahora Bassa Dam 1975

Journalist Frits Eisenloeffel travelled to Mozambique in 1975 to capture in images the transfer of power from the Portuguese to Frelimo. Three weeks before independence the new Frelimo President Samora Machel launched a tour through the country in which he, accompanied by vice-President Marcelino Dos Santos, visited also the construction site of the Cahora Bassa Dam near Songo.
