JOHANNESBURG – The South African Post Office strike ended on Wednesday. 

Management from the service confirmed the end of the four-month long strike by casual employees who were demanding permanent employment.

The delivery of mail was severely affected in the Gauteng region.

Spokesperson for the mail service Janras Kotsi said negotiators accepted a proposed interim solution on Tuesday evening.

He said details of the negotiated solution could not be revealed until legal documents were signed.

Striking workers returned to work on Wednesday.
