This paper explores the historical underpinnings of contemporary governance challenges in Mozambique within the broader context of African studies. A qualitative approach is employed, integrating archival research, oral histories, and secondary data analysis to trace the evolution of Mozambique's governmental systems from independence until present day. The findings reveal a recurring theme of corruption and mismanagement in public institutions, particularly evident during periods of economic transition and international aid dependency. This historical examination underscores the critical role of past governance decisions on current challenges, highlighting areas where institutional reforms might be most effective. Recommendations include strengthening anti-corruption measures, fostering transparency in government operations, and promoting citizen participation in policy-making processes.
