By Manuel Mucari and Thando HlopheMAPUTO (Reuters) - Daniel Chapo of Mozambique's long-ruling Frelimo party was sworn in as president on Wednesday at a sparsely attended ceremony after months of protests against his disputed election victory.

STILFONTEIN, ÁFRICA DO SUL, 15 Nov (Reuters) - Parentes desesperados de centenas de mineiros ilegais presos em uma mina abandonada na África do Sul esperavam do lado de fora do local nesta sexta-feira, na esperança de que seus entes queridos saiam em segurança. Os mineiros estão em um impasse com a polícia, que bloqueou seus suprimentos de comida e água para forçá-los a sair e prendê-los por entrarem ilegalmente na mina abandonada em busca de restos de ouro -- um problema comum na África do Sul.
