I’m x-South African now flying in the UK. The place is very big so before you start asking about how you might want to start by deciding where you want to fly. A few places that is very nice ad scenic is George and Knysna, with a great airfield. Also Pretoria has its charms and Midrand has a very good airfield with full ATC and a very friendly training college and rentals. Conversions are point many complain about but well worth it. A good place to start your search will be on
www.ananzi.co.za . It’s the local web search ad most are listed there.

PS . Oh and one more point, when flying around Midrand watch the airspace closely and avoid low flying over any squatters camps, you’ll see them as large brown patches, its not unusual for aircraft to be fired on…
