I think it is, indeed, working as intended. But I agree with you, it does seem a bit harsh how this is set up. I'd love for this to be looked at for a future change maybe.
I honestly refuse to the believe this was the intent behind this. Every other nation in the Allied powers can go independent but South Africa cant?!?!?!

This also throws a wrench into the Ethiopian focus tree as you get a decision to boost SAF independence progress, but since they literally cannot the decision is entirely pointless unless they go alt-hist. (At which point they'll have likely broken free or died trying long before you get the decision..)

I didn't even think about that but now that you mention it, I remember boosting South Africa but yeah they cant declare Independence :D
 
it is an easy fix
in Hearts of Iron IV\common\autonomous_states\dominion.txt delete the highlighted section.
this will resolve the problem, but i do hope they implement a fix for this.
