South African state-owned logistics company Transnet SOC Ltd. halted supplies from a gas pipeline in the eastern port city of Durban after it was damaged by a tractor.
The damage occurred while the vehicle was cleaning up illegal dumping at Springfield Park near Durban, the state-owned ports and freight-rail operator said in an emailed statement on Friday. A fire at an adjacent landfill site prevented a Transnet team from accessing the pipeline immediately, it said.
