“The negotiations by unions and management over the last few days were concluded at 18:00 on Saturday, so the strike scheduled for Monday 19 February 2018, has been called off”, the company said in a communiqué.

The company therefore expects all trains services to run normally on 18, 19 and 20 February throughout the country.

Several unions had called the strike which threatened trains services in Sunday evening, all day Monday and Tuesday morning.
