That seems like a rather premature conclusion. WHO mentioned:

> Data which looked at hospitalizations across South Africa between 14 November and 4 December found that ICU occupancy was only 6.3 % – which is very low compared with the same period when the country was facing the peak linked to the Delta variant in July.

Did they account for previous infection or vaccination status? What if a lot of these are breakthroughs/reinfections. Considering excess deaths in South Africa, their national data on number of cases is sort of, doubtful [1].

Further, they seem to have observed mainly a population under 40.

The "Seems to indicate" verbiage means that these are early findings, expected to stay the same, but may change over time.
