VOICED: The plight of Mozambique's 'Madgermans'

The transcript discusses the experiences of Mozambicans who worked in East Germany from 1979 as part of a labor agreement. Despite promises of financial prosperity, they returned home after the Berlin Wall fell with only a fraction of their earnings. Many remain unemployed and gather in a park, sharing memories and seeking justice. They suspect their labor was used to pay for weapons during Mozambique's independence struggle. Their reputation as troublemakers hinders their chances of receiving owed money or finding work.
