Mozambique’s Administrative Court confirmed on Wednesday, 8 July, that it had gone an entire month without internet access, an outage that disrupted administrative operations at the institution and across the country’s provincial administrative courts.
In a statement cited by the Lusa news agency, the Administrative Court said the interruption began on 4 June, without providing an explanation for its cause. Working in coordination with the Ministry of Finance, the court said steps were taken to restore connectivity and normalise services, a process completed on 2 July.
The institution added that it expects ‘the full restoration of normal digital operations shortly’, with recovery of affected platforms and systems currently under way.
According to the court, the outage compromised the functioning of administrative services both at the central institution and at the provincial administrative courts, which are still in the process of full recovery.
The disruption comes at a time when the Mozambican government has placed digital transformation among its public administration priorities.
On 22 June, President Daniel Chapo announced plans to expand 5G technology to all provincial capitals, special economic zones, and major tourist destinations by 2027.
On the same occasion, the head of state reaffirmed his commitment to the modernisation and digitalisation of the public administration, arguing that strengthening technological infrastructure would make public services faster, more transparent, and more accessible to citizens.
