Transnet and the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa have agreed to resolve their differences.

This follows an intervention into the three-month deadlock by Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele and Public Enterprises Minster Barbara Hogan.

Senior officials from the two organisations have agreed to make peace.

A disagreement between the duo has led to an almost complete shutdown of South Africa’s long distance train service, the Shosholoza Meyl.

Ndebele says the service is expected to be back on track soon.
