Prasa suspends rail services between Durban and Tongaat
The national strike by Transnet workers has forced the Passenger Rail Agency to announce it is suspending commuter train services along its North Coast corridor until further notice.
The strike follows a wage disagreement between Transnet and unions representing thousands of workers around the country.
Prasa has chosen to put operations on hold as of Thursday for the safety of its passengers and infrastructure.

Prasa’s KZN spokesperson Saneh Msane says the suspension of service affects those who'd be travelling on trains between Durban and Tongaat.
"The suspension is occasioned by Transnet who went on strike, which affected the running of trains on the North Coast corridor, which is under the control of Transnet.
