Vodacom faking RICA registrations?

Is it just the three of us, or is this more widespread?

As the cut-off date for RICA registrations approaches it seems Vodacom has
decided the RICA process is ridiculous enough to justify that they fake a
registration rather than be forced to cut off a revenue generating
subscriber.  I received an SMS recently saying that my number was now RICA'd
and so did two other people close to me.  I use a prepaid sim.

On Sunday I tried to properly RICA my sim card at the local Checkers and was
told it was registered already.  I then could have registered my son's sim
card as well without proof of residence, but I offered it anyway.

Vodacom's customer services claims they cannot check how it happened;
they're not "RICA".  The lady at they Checkers counter (who is a RICA
representative) couldn't tell me how I was registered either.

Anyone else that has had a ghost registration?
