In 2013, João Cancelo’s mother Filomena was killed in a tragic car accident. 🥺
Cancelo, who was 18 years old, and his younger brother, who was only 8, survived the crash.
“It was a matter of milliseconds that changed my life forever,” he told Alta Definição.
“I remember some things. I remember my mother’s final scream. I remember my brother crying — he was still just a child, 8 years old.”
“I tried to lift the car to get my mother out from underneath it, but I couldn’t. I just couldn’t.”
“Everything was so dark. We were off the highway, down an embankment. I tried with all my strength to lift the car, but it was impossible. Lifting a car is simply impossible.”
Sending love and strength to you, João ❤️🙏

Jeshi la Polisi Mkoa wa Pwani limesema uchunguzi wa kitaalamu uliofanyika kufuatia madai ya kubadilishiwa mtoto yaliyotolewa na Filomena Richard Mataris (36) umebaini kuwa madai hayo hayana ukweli.
Kwa muujibu wa taarifa kutoka Jeshi la Polisi Juni 15, 2026, uchunguzi huo ulifunguliwa baada ya Filomena na mumewe, Carlos Marcos Kapata, kudai kuwa mtoto wao alibadilishwa baada ya kujifungua kwa njia ya upasuaji katika Hospitali ya Wilaya ya Bagamoyo Mei 18, 2026.
Aidha, Polisi wameeleza kuwa baada ya kupokea malalamiko hayo, walifungua jalada la uchunguzi na kuanza ufuatiliaji wa kitaalamu uliowahusisha wataalamu wa Maabara ya Sayansi Jinai, Baiolojia na Vinasaba (DNA).
Matokeo ya vipimo vya DNA yameonesha kuwa mtoto aliyefariki dunia mara baada ya kuzaliwa na baadaye kuzikwa alikuwa mtoto wa Carlos Kapata na Filomena Richard kwa asilimia 99.9.
Kutokana na matokeo hayo, Jeshi la Polisi Mkoa wa Pwani limesema madai ya kubadilishiwa mtoto yaliyotolewa na wanandoa hao si ya kweli.
Aidha, Jeshi la Polisi limesisitiza kuwa wananchi wenye mashaka kuhusu jambo lolote wanapaswa kufuata taratibu sahihi za kupata ufafanuzi badala ya kutoa malalamiko kupitia njia zisizo rasmi.

🎉 Esta tarde hemos tenido el placer de acompañar a los vecinos y vecinas en las fiestas de Santa Filomena.
Las fiestas populares son mucho más que una celebración: son una expresión de la identidad de nuestros barrios y pueblos, un espacio para fortalecer los lazos vecinales.
Gracias a todas las personas que hacen posible estas fiestas con su trabajo, dedicación e ilusión.
¡Felices fiestas de Santa Fiómena! 🎊❤️

Filomena fled her village while in labour. She reached Erati safely, but fear remains.
“I left everything behind… my baby is only ten days old.”
Displacement in Nampula is forcing families to flee in impossible conditions. UNHCR is on the ground protecting those most at risk.
