South Africa network issues

Anyone experiencing connectivity problems to South African networks at this
moment? A fellow colleague informed SEACOM cable which is serving east
Africa seems to be down.

Let me know if you have more information on this subject.

Cable fault repairs on SMW4 which currently seacom uses to haul
traffic to europe and onto the rest of the world. Below is subject for
email sent by my upstream provider. Latest information is that it will
take about 3 days if the weather remains friendly.
