Supply zones filled one day prior the new price list The last hours of yesterday June 1st were marked by enormous queues of motorists looking to refuel their vehicles before the new gasoline pricing came into effect.
A long line of motorists eager to refuel their vehicles for the last time at the price of 160 kwanzas was observed in Ilha de Luanda, considering that starting today, gasoline will cost 300 kwanzas per liter. The queue at the entrance to Ilha started from Clube Náutico da Ilha de Luanda, spanning approximately two kilometers until reaching the Luanda Bay pump. Driver Nelson Campos clarified that he learned about the price change through social media, from a message sent by his sister who is in Belgium.
Carvalho António, a resident of Ilha de Luanda, explained that with the increase in gasoline prices, refueling the vehicle would require 10,500 kwanzas compared to the previous 5,600 kwanzas. To delay the expense, he explained that besides refueling the vehicle, he was forced to bring 25-liter containers to store the fuel at home.
At the fuel pump located in front of Rádio Nacional de Angola, the situation was no different. Likewise, there was a huge queue that extended all the way to Maternidade Lucrécia Paim.
