From Antoon De Baets, Censorship of Historical Thought: A World Guide 1945-2000 (Westport, Conn., and London: Greenwood Press, © 2002), 355
1982: In August, engineer and self-taught historian Antonio Aquino de Bragança (1918-86), director of the Eduardo MOndlane University Centre for African Studies, Maputo, and one of the participants of the peace negotiations that led to the independence of the Portuguese colonies, was slightly injured in the explosion of a letter bomb which killed the South African exiled sociologist Ruth First, the centre’s research director. In October 1986 Aquino de Bragança died in an airplane crash which also killed President Samora Machel, to whom he was an adviser.
