[cavedog]

Emergency personnel face a gruesome extrication

AN unconfirmed number of people have been killed on the N2 after a motorist lost control and collided head-on with a truck last night.

The car was crushed on impact, and the wreckage was wedged beneath the truck.

The driver of the truck escaped serious injury.

Officials have yet to identify the owner of the vehicle as it bears foreign registration plates.

The correct spelling of the name is as you say... "Moçambique". But many official documents will spell it as Mozambique ..... even in Moçambique.

Still a terrible accident. .........

According to the link in biometric's post, the MC actually stands for Maputo (City).

The three letters and three-numbers are serial, and the final two letters are the regional code – in this case MC for Maputo (City).

Aaah okay. That's interesting.

What's their country code then?

I meant the two letter one like our ZA.

I think that's MC.

Let me Google.
