Thanks for that sad information, Bean - but I guess that's the way of the world. We used to have two 150's RGV and ADG, an Aerobat ACJ and a 172 AAH, and later an old PA140. In my final year, when Zambia "hosted" 20,000 or so guerillas from Rhodesia, we were declared a " security risk ". They put concrete-filled oildrums down the runway, and all we were allowed to do was to run up the engines once a week and taxi round in circles to get the rust off the brakes.
I had wondered whether things had relaxed after Independence in Zim - but clearly not. Probably a good idea to move the ZAF to City - where nobody could see them bending their Aermacchis.
Probably as sad is the loss one one of the truly inter-racial social clubs, frequented by PPL's , CPL's, ATPL's of all creeds, colours and nationalities.
R.I.P.
