João Manuel Ferreira Simões: diferenças entre revisões

He proceeded his studies till 1951 when he finished his course, but one night, after a rehearsal of the opera "Cecília" by Licino Refice, at the National Theatre of São Carlos, he was overrun by a car and fractured his left leg. The driver was Manuel Simões Vaz, a captain of the Army and publisher and editor of the most important and influential newspaper in Lourenzo Marques, capital of Mozambique. In due of their acquaintance, Captain Vaz invited Ferreira Simões for a job in Africa in his newspaper.

 

 

He accepted the job and embarked on August, 1951, on ocean liner "Pátria" for [[Lourenzo Marques]], [[Mozambique]], a former Portuguese colony in southeastern Africa. After working in the publicity section of the newspaper, his writing skills were soon to be unveiled and captain Vaz would personally invite him to join the editorial staff of the "Notícias", thus starting his career in journalism.
