Joaquim Pinto de Andrade

Joaquim Pinto de Andrade (1926 – February 23, 2008) served as the first honorary President of the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA),[1] Chancellor of the Luanda Archdiocese, and as a member of the African Society of Culture.[2] He died on February 23, 2008 at his home in Luanda following a long illness, the same day as fellow MPLA politician Gentil Ferreira Viana.[3]

In the 1990s, Andrade abandoned his condition of a Catholic priest and married to Vitória Almeida e Sousa, a pediatrician. They had two children.[4]
