July 14 (Bloomberg) -- A network problem at the Johannesburg stock exchange is preventing the dissemination of data, including the Stock Exchange News Service, or SENS, according to the operator JSE Ltd.

``No data is currently being disseminated,'' Peshen Reddy, a JSE customer support official, said today in an interview from Johannesburg. ``A problem with our network is preventing data from going out and that includes all updates and SENS.''

The exchange, Africa's largest, couldn't say when the problem will be resolved, Reddy said.

There is currently no trading taking place on the exchange.
