 Hi,

 We're doing a participatory project in Maputo and already tried everything
 to have the City tag showing in the Nominatim API on reverse search:

 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=-25.8612&lon=32.6227&zoom=18&addressdetails=1

 Could you please guide us on how to solve this or help us solving the
 problem?

 Administrative Levels in Mozambique should be something like:
 State (Provincia)
 Municipality (which is Municipio and in most cases this is equal to City)
 District (Distrito)
 Suburb / Neighbourhood (Bairro is actually the direct translation of
 neighbourhood and the term used here)
 Quarteirão (which is a non-formal boundary that is recognised by
 Municipalities as a way of dividing neighbourhoods - this is important due
 to the lack of street names and numbers)

 Thank you very much!

 Kind regards,
 Jean
