Description
A white T-shirt featuring a piece of artwork by Mozambican artist Malangatana Ngwenya. Text at the top and bottom of the artwork reads "Mozambique / A luta continua" (English: Mozambigue / The fight continues)
A luta continua was the political rallying cry of the FRELIMO movement during Mozambique's struggle for independence from Portugese rule. FRELIMO is the democratic-socialist party in Mozambique and came into power in 1975 after independence was declared. The slogan 'a luta continua' has been used as a motto for the party and to some extent, the country, ever since.
