[ubuntu-za] za mirror down?

[Kapanda Phiri]

Hi All
I have been building Wheel hoes to help smallholder farmers in Zambia for
over a year.
I have successfully built the tool and am now looking at an opportunity to
gain traction.

Please help me raise the money to place my product on the market and help
the 1.5 million smallholder farmers in Zambia.
Visit my website to see my journey at www.lusafarmz.xyz
Support my GoFundMe at: https://gofund.me/22401d28

Thank you in advance and please share my story.

Kind Regards
Kapanda Phiri

>> If I remove the "za." from my /etc/apt/sources.list it works great. So I assume that the South Afican mirror is down. This has happened before, I assume for syncing, but it usually comes back after a couple of hours. It's been two days now.
