Website checks — worldwide

The evidence below covers the provider and our available checks. It is not a separate verdict for South Africa. The report chart above is filtered to South Africa.

We can't tell yet whether the South African Government website is reachable. This website usually refuses most of our cities, so our checks can't tell an outage from the usual. Updated 5 Nov, 16:14 UTC, 7 min ago · Website checks: these do not test every feature Website reachability does not confirm that sign-in, payments, messaging or the app is working. Last problem: 4 Nov, 13:12 UTC, major outage for 4 h 28 min (Could not be loaded from 34 of 34 cities).

Having trouble with South African Government?

  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.

Reports describe people's experiences. One report alone does not confirm an outage.

We request gov.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

Questions

Is South African Government down, or is it just me?

We can't say yet: see the line at the top.

How do we know?

No official status feed is connected for South African Government. We load gov.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.

Our own checks of the South African Government website.
