LG G8X boot loader locked

[sensus communis]

I got a new LG G8X from Vodacom , I tried to unlock the bootloader , with the official LG way .(With IMEI and device ID )
Error message South African version can't be unlocked . I know the EU phones can be unlocked .

Why is the South African phones locked ?

Sending it back to Vodacom , useless mid range Phone.
And the Dual screen add on is just a gimmick , not practical in real life.
