Not just South Africa. Is it really necessary in 2017 to have to produce a physical photograph for a visa application? (Another annoying, time wasting obstacle in the bureaucratic nightmare.) Only to have your photo taken digitally when you visit the agency! And this for supposedly first-world Schengen countries.
By comparison, for a Cambodian visa you submit your digital photo online with your application.
