The SA AMSAT site states: "SO67 suffered another anomaly which means that all amateur activity has been suspended." I think the translation is RIP SO67 As for HO68, the CAMSAT web page is no longer there I take that as RIP HO68

Maybe not. Isn't the amateur side a secondary payload?

HO-68 was a good satellite. I worked lots of new stations and grid squares, including my first contacts in Hawaii and Europe, all in FM. I hoped to get onto the linear transponder now that I have a rig for it but it doesn't look likely.

Your translation is wrong! The ground station engineers believe that they will recover the system required to schedule amateur radio activity.
