Shosholoza Meyl said the train, which departed on Sunday, was scheduled to arrive in Cape Town on Monday evening.

Shosholoza Meyl said alternative transport had arrived to take the stranded passengers to their destinations.

A statement by the Shosholoza Meyl division says the train was scheduled to arrive in Cape Town on Monday evening but instead is expected to arrive near midnight Tuesday.

Fans at another venue in Cape Town began singing Shosholoza, a song originally sung by gold miners that has become an unofficial anthem for sports fans in the country.

The Shosholoza Meyl train is the cheapest, but still has sleeping cars and a restaurant.
