There is no "frozen ATPL" in SA at the moment, and in order for the SACAA to "revert" to FAA would imply that they had implemented FAA before.
The SACAA follows the same "parts" as the FAA in some respect, ie 61, 91, and might adopt more, and therefore adapt to certain facets of the FAA for use in the SACAA. But the FAA works in the USA, and would not work in South Africa, the same way JAA/ JAR works in Europe but would not work in South Africa. Either of them would be a good basis to adopt, and then adapt them for use in South African airspace.
