Drivers express frustration as they wait for hours to fill their tanks, while the government attributes the situation to economic dynamics and external conflicts affecting fuel imports. The crisis has raised concerns about transport operations and the livelihoods of many drivers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ap-article-header-tag\"> <strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique. <\/strong> <\/span>Queues stretching for hundreds of metres, widespread congestion and petrol stations closed without petrol or diesel are today marking central Maputo, with motorists in despair and others already running on empty pushing their vehicles along the street.<\/p>\n<p>By mid-morning, Manuel Ponge, a ride-hailing driver in Maputo, was waiting to be able to fill up the maximum allowed at petrol stations of 1,000 meticais (\u20ac13.2) at one of the few stations still open in the Mozambican capital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery critical, as you can see,\u201d he says, amid traffic congestion caused by queues of dozens of cars stopped at several fuel stations either trying to refuel or holding their place for when fuel becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to endure this queue to ensure we get fuel, even if in a very limited way. From what I was told, it is only 1,000 meticais per person,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>He had already visited several stations during the morning in search of fuel and found many, the majority, closed, with employees sitting on the ground without work. He also heard about a mobile application developed in recent hours and being widely shared, which regularly updates which stations are open and supplying fuel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw it on the app and came here. I have been here for 25 minutes,\u201d he explains, admitting he still has fuel in his \u201ceconomical\u201d car to continue working in passenger transport for three days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWaiting for the situation to improve. Saving enough for another three or four days and then we will see,\u201d says Manuel Ponge, although he calls for \u201cpriority for transport operators\u201d in refuelling, as they are the \u201csolution\u201d to the current problem.<\/p>\n<p>The Mozambican government had already acknowledged on Tuesday \u201cpressure\u201d on fuel stations, as huge queues began appearing this week amid fears of stock shortages and price increases due to the conflict in the Middle East, despite guarantees of sufficient stock in the country until May.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, we have been monitoring some pressure at the pumps. The information available is that there is still stock available. I cannot here state how many days or weeks, but this is an issue being monitored daily at government level,\u201d said Minister Salim Vala\u0301, spokesperson for the weekly Council of Ministers meeting held on Tuesday in Maputo.<\/p>\n<p>The government therefore attributes the queues to an \u201ceconomic dynamic\u201d based on \u201cperceptions and expectations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Avelino Fonda is also queuing at a fuel station in Maputo. In two days he has managed to obtain only 10 litres of diesel, enough to keep the car running, but he does not know until when.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been here for 30 minutes, but I came from another station where I waited for two hours, and when I got there they had already run out,\u201d he says, adding: \u201cThis is going to get even harder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new prices will have to come,\u201d said the President of the Republic on Tuesday, justifying the fuel situation with the war in the Middle East, which is affecting Mozambique, whose imports depend on 80% of shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, blocked by Iran and now by the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as the war continues, we will not be able to keep stretching the current prices for much longer,\u201d said Daniel Chapo.<\/p>\n<p>Yussufo Vicente, a taxi driver, has been queuing at a station in the capital since early morning in search of a few litres of diesel to continue working.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been here since morning still looking for fuel and only now I am going to refuel,\u201d he explained, pointing to a wait of several hours and the 1,000 meticais limit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the problem continues, my expectation is to stop. All of us will be stopped (&#8230;) There is no way, we will just stay at home,\u201d he says, exhausted after more than two hours in the same queue.<\/p>\n<p>The same concern is shared by Anto\u0301nio Manuel, a \u2018txopela\u2019 driver for 15 years, the motorised tricycles that weave through Maputo traffic transporting passengers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going through very difficult times. We do not even know what our lives will be like in the near future, because we depend on transport to feed our families,\u201d he says, adding ironically: \u201cPoliticians say there is no fuel shortage. We are becoming puzzled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The days have become \u201ca war\u201d in the search for fuel, and since Tuesday he has managed to obtain only 2.5 litres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spent the whole day struggling,\u201d he says, describing the situation as \u201cchaotic\u201d and uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no more business. We may just park the vehicles and who knows what. Maybe go back to the countryside and take up the hoe,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the city, Assifo Ussene waits with a friend for fuel to arrive at the station. He is on a lift because the car he uses, which needs refuelling every three days to work, is already on reserve and has been left at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not even know how I will continue working (&#8230;) We were almost being served and when it was our turn they signalled that there was no more petrol,\u201d he says, calling on the government to prevent fuel stations from \u201ctaking advantage\u201d of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will keep waiting for a miracle and for things to improve. I will keep doing my work without a car,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Jose\u0301 Dias is also already expecting to stop due to lack of fuel for company vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have no way, we can only use minibuses,\u201d he says, while waiting since 07:00 to refuel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have already been to some stations. I heard that from 14:00 they will start supplying fuel, so I came here,\u201d he says, worried that the company is about to be forced to stop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not know. I only know that this is getting worse. With each passing day it is getting worse,\u201d he laments.<\/p>\n<p>The current fuel crisis in Maputo is exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, particularly the conflict in the Middle East, which has disrupted global oil supplies. Mozambique relies heavily on imports for its fuel needs, with a significant portion coming through critical shipping routes. This dependency makes the country vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices and supply chain disruptions, leading to the current shortages and public unrest over fuel availability. The government has acknowledged the situation but insists that there is still stock available, attributing the chaos to public perception and panic buying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know Maputo is experiencing a significant fuel crisis, with long queues at petrol stations and many closed due to shortages.
