South African port workers ended a two-week strike on October 20 after some unions reached a three-year wage agreement with Transnet. Major ports and rail freight services had been disrupted, and shipping companies said operations would take time to return to normal, with some voyages still affected.
The strike disrupted port and rail flows, restricting exports and creating shipping delays. Resumed operations should ease the logistics bottleneck, although the recovery may be gradual.
