As for whether it will dominate, who knows.
It appears to have come from a severely immunocompromised patient in Botswana, which is why we have a lot of mutations all at the same time.
But SA has a low number of cases, so a new variant will proportionally show more dominant. They have a low vaccination rate but a presumed high proportion of people who have had covid. A new variant is likely to appear dominant in these cases. Whether this will show in an area with a significant Delta outbreak remains to be seen, personally, I'd prefer it was kept where it was...

They have had plenty of time to get vaccinated and know the risks if you don't.
I'm not going to invoke Godwin's Law and suggest the unvaccinated wear yellow bands on their arms, but, surely by not doing what they should, they are merely putting themselves at higher risk. We should simply leave them to it, knowing they can get a vaccine if they want one. I'm running out of excuses for them.
Those who can't get one for medical reasons, totally understand that.
