Non-anglophones Controlling In South Africa

Interesting that - in Europe with the Common European Licence on the horizon, the French will be forcing non-francophones to have at least a level 5 in French (whatever that is because the ICAO scale only applies to English) (as well as 4 in English) to be able to control in France (that's if the unions allow foreigners in in the first place!)
Would be interesting to know what the requirements are in the way of language levels for foreigners controlling in South Africa.
By the way R650 equates to about 65 euros which is the cost being bandied about in France - the legislation hasn't been finalized yet so it is not possible to be officially tested. There is one hell of a lot of Air France (and other) pilots to be completed by March 2008!
