Tempo was a weekly illustrated magazine founded in 1970 in Maputo, Portuguese East Africa, which is now Mozambique.[1] The magazine acted as a voice of opposition to Portuguese colonial practices and rule in the colony.[1] It was Mozambique's first full color magazine.[2]

Tempo was co-founded by photojournalist Ricardo Rangel and four other Mozambican journalists.[1][2] Rangel worked as the magazine's main photographer.[1]

In 1972, the magazine began to request government support to increase its financial sources.[3] Following the 25 April 1974 coup in Portugal the magazine was again controlled by the Frelimo journalists.[3] Then it became the first media outlet in the country to visit the liberated areas by Frelimo and to make an interview with Samora Machel.[3]
