Agostinho Vuma, a prominent businessman and politician, recently launched two books in Maputo that reflect his tenure as president of the Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA). The books, titled “Public-Private Dialogue in Mozambique – Impact on the Economy and Guide for Investors” and “Leadership – Legacy of a Journey,” discuss the significant challenges he encountered over his seven-year term.
In “Public-Private Dialogue – Impact on the Economy and Guide for Investors,” Vuma outlines the collaborative interactions between governmental authorities and the private sector, aimed at fostering a favorable business environment that stimulates economic development. He emphasizes the importance of consensus-building processes initiated in 2018 to enhance investor confidence and engagement in Mozambique’s economy.
His second work, “Leadership, Legacy of a Journey,” delves into Vuma’s personal experiences and the burdens he has carried throughout his life. He shares his journey from rural beginnings to academic success, highlighting significant obstacles including financial constraints that led many of his peers to engage in informal trades to support their families.
Vuma recounts a traumatic experience from 2020, when he was a victim of an attempted murder, which he attributes to hatred and malice. He voices that personal and professional challenges, including bullying and envy, often accompany leadership roles, warning future leaders to remain resilient against such adversities. He advocates for maintaining one’s purpose in the face of detractors.
The books, published by Afrobooks, were presented at the launch event attended by esteemed personalities from political and business spheres. The launch featured remarks from several prominent figures, including Luísa Diogo, Silvino Moreno, Salimo Abdula, and Fernando Couto, who praised Vuma’s contributions to public-private dialogue and the legacy he leaves behind.
Agostinho Vuma’s launch of two books encapsulates his experiences and insights from seven years as president of the CTA. His works highlight the significance of public-private dialogue in Mozambique’s economic development and his personal journey through adversity. Through his storytelling, Vuma extends a message of resilience to aspiring leaders, encouraging them to remain steadfast in their pursuits despite challenges they may face.
