Why would SA’s Medicines Control Council want to block access to this test, which can be self-administered easily and is low cost? I have not seen any evidence that the test is not accurate. Even if it is not 100% accurate, for which I cannot find any evidence, it could be sold with a disclaimer that a negative result does not preclude the possibility of an infection and people experiencing symptoms should go for testing at a laboratory or hospital even if the test is negative.
