Beech 1900 CPL or ATP A/c?

I was reading this months issue of Air News and there was an article on isurance policies. Talking about operators and insurers. Example being if we can manage to convince Dave Jank, to taylor make an insurance policy to cover us on a particular plane even though the SACAA doesn't allow it is it still illegal. - who is at fault the owner or the insurer or both?

My reference is that of a Beech 1900, It said in the AirNews that this IS an ATP aircraft and you need one of these green books to be captain. So how is it that there are ceratin operators out there that operate these type of Aircraft with a CPL holder only? I am aware this aircraft is over 12500, and this is a classic example of where the operator is happy as it 'must' be legal because presumably the insurance company is happy - c'est vrai? The reason that an operator says 'we have a specail dispensation.' So is a beech 1900 an ATP or CPL and AirNews got it wrong???? just wondering....
