As of today, here is the official data by which to calculate the mortality rate for South Africa.
( 102,428 SA deaths / 61,103,747 South Africa population ) x 100 = 0.167 percent mortality over 35 months.

Less than two-tenths of one percent over almost three years does not qualify for me as a "pandemic." South Africa is also an "outlier" compared to us.
( 1,079,197 US deaths / 335,660,410 US population ) x 100 = 0.322 percent mortality over 35 months.

Therefore one may repeat the claim that "Covid policies" in the US have deadlier comparatively than in South Africa, than in all of sub-Saharan Africa. Two times deadlier under Fauci, the NIAID, CDC and FDA than South Africa, as a comparison.

As one hears on the news these days, "Brought to you by Pfizer." And Moderna, J&J, Astrazeneca, and Gilead.
I meant South Africa is an outlier compared to the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. My apologies for not being clearer. The Covid death rate in SA was significantly higher than other sub-Saharan countries. I have not seen any figures for hospitalization rates, but would guess they were higher in SA than in other sub-Saharan countries, lower than in the US.
