The fuel shortage seen since 1 November persists in several areas of Luanda province. Petrol is scarce while diesel remains available, causing long queues and waits of hours, according to Folha 8.
The petrol shortage recorded since the turn of 31 October to 1 November 2026 continues to affect several areas of Luanda province, Jornal F8 reports. Motorists and transport operators are increasingly worried.
According to the outlet, diesel remains available at several stations, but petrol is scarce. Drivers travel around the city to fill up and sometimes wait several hours at the stations still serving, which disrupts traffic.
In Cazenga, queues spill onto the road. "Many stations are closed and those that are operating limit the amount per vehicle," said António Silva, a public transport driver. In Golfe 1, motorists complain about the lack of official information; several stations have cones at the entrance.
André Feliciano, a motorist, says he is losing a lot of time looking for petrol, to the detriment of his business. Mauro Valente is asking the authorities to explain the causes of the shortage and to say when it will be resolved.
