Internet and banking services were reportedly disrupted in Mauritius on Friday due to a technical glitch with the South Africa Far East (SAFE) submarine cable, although connectivity was restored late the same day.
The undersea fiber optic cable SAFE was damaged “off the coast of Africa”, according to a press release from Mauritius Telecom issued on Friday. The consequence is that the Internet connection on all floors, in homes and in businesses, is disrupted.
