I'm sure that this is temporary. As we said, it will take some time to iron out the problems. Namibia went through some hiccups as well, and now they are well on their way. The above article is regarding airline crew being treated the same as passengers as far as protocol goes upon arrival in the country.

There was only one exit point allowed on Sunday when I flew in and yesterday when I dropped my mother in law off, she could only enter the terminal building through one entrance on the upper level.
Still looked like a ghost town inside there. No shops were open that I saw. Only the mobile phone network operators were attending their shops.
Once through the exit, you’re greeted by a mess of taxi drivers and Uber drivers all fighting for business.
I only saw 2 CemAir planes on the apron from my side of the plane.
Very very odd to see so little happening.

As of last week SA was still closed to American's I believe. There is quite a bit of optimism that the USA will be added to the "approved" list in the next month or two.

After the election and the "Trumped" up Chinese virus numbers disappear, I figure the U.S. will also be approved.
