Reuters:

• South Africa has administered at least 25,238,789 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 21.6% of the country’s population(one of world's lowest rates). COVID-19 infections are slightly increasing in South Africa, with 3,862 new infections reported on average each day(46 infections per 100K people reported last 7 days). That’s 19% of the peak — the highest daily average reported on July 7.
