I agree with Termightjim, the day of the 200 is just about over. If you want to fly on contract, the 1900 is a much better option. It will cost you around 25000 rand for the rating but dont forget you will still only have a few hours on the aircraft. A rating with NAC/43 will set you back around 65000 rand and you end up with 1 hour on type and some sim time ( the sim is a 200 not 1900 ). Other advice here was very good. Do not invest in the rating unless you have a job offer. And before you do that, try all the contract companies to see if they will give you the rating. There are still some who will do that and bond you.
Good luck
