Der absolute Hammer, what the hell has language got to do with accidents!!! Are you implying that just because of your language you are more or less prone to make an accident!! Language definately don't make a good pilot.
All South African cpl and atpl pilots need to do an English proficiency test. You never hear any Afrikaans on the radio giving or reading back clearances/instructions. You might hear the occasional greeting, but that is it.
I do agree with the lack of interest of the instruction though.
