More than 100 people died after a ferry boat sank off the northern coast of Mozambique, President Filipe Nyusi said on Monday, and almost 20 others were still missing.
An official from the country's Maritime Transport Institute (Intrasmar) said the vessel carrying 130 passengers was an overloaded fishing boat and was not licensed to transport people.
