Heavy rains in South Africa derailed trains carrying coal and chrome and shut lines used to move corn and fuel, state-run rail and port operator Transnet Ltd. said.
“Further aggravating the situation is that key ports such as Richards Bay and Maputo have also been adversely affected,” Transnet Freight Rail said in an e-mailed statement today. Mine operators are unable to load and off-load rail wagons, it said.
