AfricanSkies - if you're in that much of a rush, do the CPL at a school - 43 Air School at Port Alfred spring to mind. Get a twin rating as soon as you can, but be prepared to sit in the right hand seat till you've got some hours. I wouldn't bother trying to buy a turbine rating with your own money, someone will offer you one soon enough. Then be prepared to go back into the RHS for a little while.
Oh.... and give my love to CT, lucky sod!!
StallInducer... same goes for you. Take any job you can find to get the hours up. You can't be fussy with a brand-spanking-new license.
Afraid I can't give any news on up-to-date contacts though, I'm out of touch with Africa now. I'm sure someone else will oblige.
Good luck.
