Having trouble with DFA?

  1. Compare reports from South Africa and check the latest update above. A quiet chart does not rule out a new or local problem.
  2. Try the service on another device or switch between WiFi and mobile data, if available. If other sites also fail, check your internet provider.
  3. Report a problem with the feature that is failing and the country where you are affected. Submit once; your report appears in the chart.

We request dfafrica.co.za and note whether it answers. These automated checks do not sign in or use the app's features.

Available evidence

We check whether its website loads every 5 minutes. This does not test sign-in, payments, calls or every feature of its app or network. We show a website problem when a quarter of the eligible places cannot load it, and an outage when half cannot. Places that normally cannot reach it are excluded. With too few results, we say we cannot tell.

Recent problems

No problems recorded since 4 Nov 2026.

Alert me when DFA is down

HonkWatch can load DFA's website for you from several cities and alert you by email, Slack, Discord or Telegram when it stops answering.

Questions

Is DFA down, or is it just me?

Our checks reach DFA's website from most of our cities. This does not rule out problems with sign-in, payments, an app or a local network. Check the community reports above and report your experience.

How do we know?

No official status feed is connected for DFA. We load dfafrica.co.za from our probes and note whether it answers. People can report problems here. Their reports appear separately and may reveal issues before a provider update.

How often do we check?

The website every 5 minutes, day and night. We keep 90 days of available check history: a day we have no reading for shows as "no data yet", never as working.
