South Africa's state-owned logistics firm Transnet said on Monday it has agreed on a three-year wage deal with the union representing most of its workers as it bids to end a strike that has affected commodities exports.

“Transnet and the United Transport and Allied Trade Union reached a three-year wage agreement today [Monday],” Transnet said, adding the deal ends the strike at the monopoly company.
