It is recalled that last Friday, the Municipal Administration of Luanda ordered the evacuation of building no. 236 'São José', on Avenida Comandante Valódia, due to structural anomalies that put the stability of the building into question.
According to Jornal de Angola, technicians from the Provincial Government of Luanda and the Angola Engineering Laboratory have 30 days to analyze the condition of the aforementioned building, whose work is ongoing.
According to Cláudio Revelas, deputy administrator for the Technical and Infrastructure area of the municipality of Luanda, the issue of family relocation is also being analyzed.
For now, residents, according to Jornal de Angola, will stay with family members until a place is established to relocate them.
