Three tankers containing hazardous chemicals caught fire while on a goods train at the Spoornet Bethal Depot in Mpumalanga, Spoornet spokesperson Sandile Simelani said on Monday.

"We are unsure at this stage what the cause of the fire is and our forensic team will be conducting an investigation.
"No one was injured during the explosion and the driver of the train and other personnel stopped the fire from spreading, saving 11 tankers," he said.
