South Africa's Covid-19 vaccine certificate system is live

[Skerminkel]

Why is this needed, broken or otherwise?

Rhetorical question, or are you just not in the mood to read?

This system is a fu**up and many people won't be able to get it online. They want some code entered, but this code is not written on the vaccination card. Unless you have kept the SMS's, this system is totally useless.

True story....... that sms is loooong gone.

Precisely, hence the reason I say this whole system is f**ked.

Viva ANC!!! Viva!

I whatsapp'ed the sms to wife and she sent hers to me as well. I hope the system will change soon and not ask for vaccination code.

Tried like 10 times and then finally got past the OTP page, then were able to download the PDF certificate.

Just like most things in this place, never likely to work as intended. And that's probably a good thing, massively open to abuse.

Viva ANC!!! Viva!

Okay, so, I was lucky, I found an archived SMS with my Vaccination Code.

Once the first page is completed, I get exactly the same "Network Issue".

Typical ANC, blaming the user. We should change networks and devices. Never them who can't even create a simple secure database and PDF generator script.

I must say they have catered for all errors and I am hoping developer will cater for a working scenario soon. Hope is eternal.

As Paul Theron very wisely put: To insulate yourself from tyranny, live in a place where the tyrants are absolute idiots.

How?
How does any abusive government abuse a dompas?

ANC government never fails to disappoint. In this case we were supposed to have followed the WHO guidelines but this thing does NOT work. Then there is the matter of the "Vaccination Code". I have two codes.....but there is space for just one code!

Meanwhile, we are told by various commentators that the site is "live" --- not not quite live. Come, now.

Did you insert one or both of your proof of vaccination codes?

Also tried like 10 times and got the OTP twice, only to still see the 'network error' message afterwards

 

[Charlesjjm]

All that trouble for this:

Should it not be valid for at least 1 year?

 

[Brian_G]

Should it not be valid for at least 1 year?

Nope, you need more jabs than that.

I got all of the same errors, but it did load in the end - got my certificate. Was rather painless. OTP was instant etc. Not too fond that it only shows the vaccine for the code I entered, was hoping it would show both.

Mine shows both.

But doesnt look like the QR code works ( yet)
