Yes, exactly, plus two days ago there was a big news from S.A. that they "found" 476 more deaths attributed to previous weeks. SA deaths are still rising, despite cases peaking around Dec 18.

The 476 deaths that were announced, I believe were not added to previous deaths in worldometer, they were just "announced" but did not end up in official statistics.

It is possible that S.A. upset about the travel ban shaped their statistics and messaging in some way. The travel ban was definitely stupid, but so was the reaction to it, if true.
