Politics
Camal was critical of the urban planning problems in Maputo, saying that the city's poor infrastructure contributes to its notoriously bad traffic, especially during rush hour, and hurts urban mobility in the county.[4]
In 2023, in protest of Israel's occupation of Palestine, several Mozambican organizations established an unofficial "Israeli Apartheid free zone". Camal's company Sir International joined the protest, stating that they would refuse to sell any Israeli products.[5]
Personal life
A Muslim,[6] Camal attended the public celebrations of Eid al-Adha in Maputo. He denounced the rise of Islamism in Mozambique, saying that Islam is a religion of peace.[7]
