Jim,

I think it's Baixo Pinta; see
<http://www.consultec.co.mz/Portugues/Areas%20de%20Actuacao/PDFs%20EIA/7_-_Biofisico_EIA_Preliminar.pdf>
and do a search therein. I see no "pinda" in my Portuguese dictionary.

Although he may not have been the vendor, Manoel/Manuel Amorim
<[log in to unmask]> probably fits into the chain of ownership.
