Semi-collective passenger transporters blocked traffic on the National Road Number 4 (N4), specifically in the area from Casa Branca to Bairro Luís Cabral, in protest against the collection of fares at the Matola tollbooth..

Drivers of buses, minibuses and articulated lorries have placed their vehicles in a crossed position, in both directions, thus impeding traffic.

According to a Sunday newspaperAs a result, people traveling in the Matola-Maputo City direction and vice versa are forced to walk while police officers talk to the promoters of the demonstration so that the road can be unblocked as soon as possible.

The situation is generating intense congestion on all the main alternative routes to and from Maputo city, the Jardim route, among others.

Strategic roads such as Avenida Samora Machel, Avenida das Indústrias, Joaquim Chissano, Avenida de Moçambique and 04 de Outubro, which connects Benfica to Zona Verde, are practically impassable.
