Sorry but I've got to agree with four engine jock.
I've dealt with the SACAA for years, and I for one, am very encouraged at how things are improving. You can knock them all you want but you can't deny that they are really trying! The standard of their flight ops department has improved dramatically! The calibre of their new flying examiners is first class! Anyone want to deny it? Well done CAA.
The naysayers obviously haven't taken the trouble to find out what's been happening there.
Which is a pity because the CAA has become very approachable to the industry and are doing their best to help. Of course they're not perfect - but show me one regulator in the entire world that is!
Instead of squealing, why not go and get the story straight from the horses mouth and make a positive input - instead of taking the word of someone with a secondhand story, or the opinion of some ulterior-motived journalist.
And just for the record - I don't work for the CAA either!
