A Transnet train transporting iron ore into Mozambique collided with another train on a line running between the two countries on Tuesday evening.
The train out of Mozambique was operated by state-owned Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique (CFM). The Transnet train was being operated by a CFM crew as well.
Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) told News24 that there were no injuries. There was no further information at this stage, but TFR confirmed that there was no movement on the line between Komatipoort in Mpumalanga and Ressano Garcia in Mozambique.
"Investigations are under way to determine the cause of the accident," it said.
