Rui de Noronha

Died in 1943

Rui de Noronha was born on 28 October 1909 in Lourenço Marques, present-day Maputo, to a father from Goa and an African mother. After secondary school, he joined the colony's railways as a trainee, while writing for the press: at seventeen he gave his first texts to O Brado Africano, then poems and theatre and film reviews. He dreamed of publishing a book of poems and died in his city on 25 December 1943, aged thirty-four, without having seen it appear.
