Amade Chemane Camal Jr. (born 1954) is a Mozambican politician and entrepreneur. The CEO of Sir Comercio Internacional, and the father of leading transport businesses in Mozambique. He was a member of the Assembly of the Republic of Mozambique for Nampula Province from 1994 to 1999. [1]

Camal has been critical of the urban planning problems in Maputo, saying that the cities' poor infrastructure contributes to its notoriously bad traffic, especially during rush hour, and hurts urban mobility in the county. [2]

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. [3]

A Muslim, [4] Camal attended the public celebrations of Eid al-Adha in Maputo. He has denounced the rise of Islamism in Mozambique, saying that Islam is a religion of peace. [5]
