The government may not have enough cash to do that, so they may have to downsize the airline.

Anyone who booked still have a valid ticket? checkmytrip shows the flights on TAAG as cancelled but still a valid ticketnumber etc.

I booked via eDreams for late Nov 2020 and flights still show as confirmed.

Where did you book and for which month/year??

I booked via mytrips.com for mid february 21 and there everything is still confirmed, just the checkmytrip app show the flights as cancelled. And on TAAG website your cant check the booking.

I noticed that yesterday the TAAG website is not showing anything to/from South Africa after October. I suspect it has to do with South Africa still not announcing when they will open their borders.

I have a booking for late Feb but honestly wouldn't worry about it till late this year at least. I’m sure there will be lots of schedule changes/route cancellations or even worse.

Yes, I've seen this with multiple airlines. Had trouble looking for a booking with Kenya Airways for next Jan, because SA hasn't announced when flights will resume.

There's plenty of time you can't even fly from like GRU-MVD for $250, this is a steal, IF your circumstances are right. I think Angola is pretty crazy expensive though and a bit hard to get into no? Great find either way, would be cool to fly on the random carrier.

They have an online visa process for most countries now, pretty simple.

how were you able to view it on checkmytrip? what PNR did you enter?

I installed checkmytrip app and checked my booking. TAAG flights appear as cancelled as well.

Now TAAG flights seems to be fully (re)confirmed back as booked in C class. Same PNR, same etix nb, but 737-700 ex CPT planned now instead 772.

It looks like South Africa is closed until february 2021 https://onemileatatime.com/south-africa-tourism/
Any ideas if it's possible to reschedule easily?

I would not trust in that at all. The source used for that article has already proved invalid. The country moves to level 3 on the 1st June, 2 months ahead of the schedule on which the article is based. As other countries around South Africa start opening up to tourism (Tanzania has already done so, and I suspect Zambia and Namibia may soon follow), South Africa will find it hard not to do the same.

It may be sooner but I doubt it will be a free-for-all. I can see that initially it will be from select countries who have managed COVID-19 well. It will be expanding bubbles, not a global welcoming. The US has recently banned flights from Brazil which makes sense because they haven't got their country under control yet.
