And if you do not have the card, they do not fine the airline. They simply require you to get a shot there at the airport which could take a fair amount of your time and maybe some money.
The cost for that is R200 at the JNB travel clinic. I rather stupidly forgot my yellow fever certificate last week going into Angola!
Whatever you do, don't get the jab in Angola...
