Lol, it looked very developed to an african country, much more than I expected. Way more weathier than todays Maputo. Also, many whites on the street, what was the peak of white population in Africa/Angola/Moçambique? 15%?

Communism always ruining tropical countries with iberian very rich elites. The problem of iberian colonizations is that they always create very unequal and money oriented societies where families with money live expetacular lifes and the native people die of envy offering a very open pro communism dispersion area like Cuba, Angola, Moçambique and Venezuela.
I don't know the %, but yes, that was the peak of Europeans in Angola and Moçambique. Due to the growth of leftist independence movements (backed by the USSR) in both Angola and Mozambique, the central Portuguese government introduced a policy of massive settlement with Portuguese people in the 1960s.
Well, actually the ones who started to revolt against the Portuguese were educated blacks who've had access to higher education in Portugal. The problem is, they got into contact with communists who wanted to oust Salazar/Marcelo Caetano, and other black communists from other countries which had recently become independent (from France and the UK). Most black people though, would have preferred Portuguese rule forever. They had jobs and food at least. When Portugal left, they died of hunger by the millions - and many actually came to Portugal to flee the chaos of civil war, disease and famine.
