At 8:36 this morning, the national backbone link between Port Elizabeth and East London went down. The link between Pretoria and Durban went down at 9:10.
Durban has been isolated from the rest of national network since 9:10. This is causing an international connectivity outage.
Telkom has advised that the PTA-DUR link failure is due to an outage in Mtunzini. They have not been able to provide an estimated time to repair.
