Aevamo’s reading
Decreto Presidencial 189/23, published in the Diário da República I Série n.º 185 of 29 September 2023, is the instrument that establishes the current legal regime for tourist entry to Angola: it creates the exemption for the 98 listed countries (article 3 and annex) and the simplified tourist-visa procedure for everyone else (article 4). It is the operative instrument rather than a description of one — the SME page and the consular pages describe and apply this decree.
The passage is the SME page's exemption note and full list under Decree 189/23: it states that nationals of the countries mentioned are exempt from tourist visa requirements for stays of up to 30 days per entry and 90 days per year, and it names every exempt country in the annex, so a holder of any of these issuers' passports enters visa-free on those terms.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
