This is Cremildo Fernando Cumbane, a 25 year-old mechanic’s assistant, at his workplace in Inhambane town. In driving your own car around Mozambique, you meet a lot of mechanics of varying skill levels and with greatly varying equipment and inventive ideas for how to fix your car. I’ve been interviewing the people I meet around the country, and like anywhere, mechanics here are not short on opinions - even if they are sometimes short of the right tools.

Don't judge a mechanic by the graveyard of vehicles in front. Despite appearances, some of the cars that come to this business to be fixed do actually drive away again, but not all.
Is this the guy who's been fixing up your car?
