The University is currently without Internet access as a result of scheduled maintenance announced previously. The maintenance work is due to be completed by 17:00 today.
During the outage all users will be unable to browse the web or access other resources on the Internet. They will most likely experience this as an ERR_DNS_FAIL or ERR_CONNECT_FAIL error when trying to access affected web sites. E-mail that's sent or received during the outage will be queued, and will be delivered once Internet access restored.
This outage is a continuation of Eskom's electrical work at Grassridge (Coega) that started last Sunday. It should hopefully be the last Coega-related outage.
