South African Terrestrial Broadcasts down

[lumukanda]

this is really intended for south africans, all the terrestrial broadcasts are down today, all the tv stations (SABC 1,2 and 3, ETV and M-Net, satellite tv works fine) as well as all the radio stations (5fm, goodhope fm, SAFM etc etc), you name it, it's down.
anyone know if there's a reason for this? maybe it's just the cape town area, the weather's been a bit weird lately.
any thoughts?

It never happen Before,How are others reacting to this?

[lumukanda]

i just think it's pretty weird is all, i've seen the tv go down before (good riddance for the most part), but the radio stations i've never seen go down like this before.

[erikneo]
