I agree with African Drunk.
My IR instructor previously worked for the MAF for over 20 years before returning to the UK with family committments.
Its not to be taken lightly at all.

If its your career ambition to fly through Africa for years and years and years to come, I don't think you need to spend £70,000 with Oxford Aviation. Why not carry out your CPL training in South Africa for a fraction of the cost AND where you will be closer to that type of flying action?
However if you change your mind and want to fly for UK Airlines then maybe think Oxford or the like.
