For the second In less than two weeks, Vodacom is having major problems with its network in South Africa.

Consumers took to social media, including Twitter, at approximately 2.30pm on Friday to complain that they were unable to access the company’s network.

Downdetector, a popular place for users to report problems with network service providers, showed an increase in complaints, starting at 2.30 p.m. Complaints came in from across the country, suggesting the outage was national in nature. .

Vodacom’s Twitter has started responding to users who complain about the network outage, saying: “Vodacom is aware of a problem affecting the connectivity of some of its customers. Our technicians are working hard to solve the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. “

A Vodacom spokesperson could not immediately provide additional comment on the cause of the problem.

The Vodacom network experienced similar downtime on Friday, November 13, starting around lunchtime that day and continuing until evening when the issue was fully resolved. The company never specified what caused the downtime at the time, but apologized for “the inconvenience caused.” – (c) 2020 NewsCentral Media
