R650 times

R650 times a couple of thousand is going into the millions. A lot of dough to be made out of chatting to someone for thirty minutes. But it will eliminate a lot of confusion and bring a sense of order to the skies, such as:

Pilot: Aircraft X declaring an emergency.

ATC: Please state the nature of the emergency.

Pilot: We've lost an engine.

ATC: Due to the double meaning of that statement we will not deal with the emergency at this moment. Please attend an english proficiency exam and then get back to us.
