Gauteng Metrorail said an investigation was underway after two newly launched trains collided in Tshwane.
The commuter rail service operator said a train coming from the Mabopane Station experienced a technical fault outside the Soshanguve Depot earlier on Monday, leading to the crash.
It’s not yet clear what the cost of the damage is.
Gauteng Metrorail spokesperson Lillian Mofokeng said: “The trains had eight staff members and no commuters at the time of the incident.”
Metrorail said train services were not affected and no further delays were expected.
