To try to control circulation, the police set up three checkpoints from kilometre 25 - which connects Cacuaco, Zango and Viana - to the Alimenta Angola supermarket, thus closing the circulation on Avenida Deolinda Rodrigues.
Also near Avenida Pedro de Castro Van-Dúnem "Loy", the authorities decided to close the access after the Viaduct, in Golf 2. The roads for January 21 were also closed.
According to the Jornal de Angola, the only cars allowed to circulate were those with a proof of the employer, which proved that the trip was for work purposes.
However, after these measures, the entrance in the capital turned out to be a mess: there were several cars trying to enter Viana, causing a giant queue and a big traffic jam.
Faced with this scenario, people on public transport got tired of waiting and decided to walk to the heart of Luanda, writes Jornal de Angola.
On Tuesday, the spokesman for the Interior Ministry, Valdemar José, in a press conference, had already shown concern about the lack of respect for the state of emergency after the executive decided to ease some measures.
Faced with the chaos that has been occurring in the capital, he said that "there will be an adjustment in the authorities' procedures". "Our objective is not to adopt coercive measures. We will only do so if the citizen does not comply with this communication as being to comply", Valdemar José underlined.
