From the official website of the Ismaili Muslim community:
At the heart of the port city of Maputo, capital of Mozambique, stands a building that testifies to the long history of the Ismaili Muslim community in the region. The Maputo Jamatkhana is located a short distance from the heart of the old city’s baixa (commercial area). Flanked by two intricately carved glass-wall minarets, the concrete structure is easily identified by the words Edificio Sua Alteza Aga Khan (The Building of His Highness the Aga Khan) that adorn the central clock tower.
These were comments made when Ismaili Mail put up pictures on July 19th 2007 during the Golden Jubilee inaugural celebration at Maputo Jamat Khana:
