The bit I want to comment on is the suggestion on page 2 that SA training in general is somehow poor. I spent a lot of my own money after being impressed by the standard of a brand new SA PPL turning up to rent at my UK airfield straight from P.E.!
Meeting this guy led me to finding out a lot more about SA PPL training, and eventually dig into my pockets to get SA instructor qualifications myself to renew, mentor and support the SA PPL community in the UK. I now run a free mentoring service for their arrival in the UK through a website, newsletter, and FAQ page etc.
Yes, all pilots who train abroad anywhere need intros to UK Nav and airspace, but the the training in SA still seems pretty rigorous to me. It seems to have been developed in conjunction with the Uk years ago and hence uses common terms and procedures (eg: QFE, QNH, overhead joins). It certainly hasn't been dumbed down since.
