Cape Town – Social network Twitter has gone down on Tuesday morning in what is a second major outage for the service in just a few months.
On Tuesday, by 11:00 Twitter appeared to be unavailable on both web and mobile.
The problem has affected users worldwide with the Guardian reporting that the micro-blogging site had experienced a “service disruption”.
A message on the site said: “Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing - we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.”
This is not the first time the site has had problems.
The site had a brief outage in November last year and some users took to rival social network Facebook to complain about the outage.

UPDATE: By 14:00 South African standard time Twitter was back online
