Perhaps the links here will be of some use to people in their questions about South African Licences.
Urgent and new notices

The
best thing to do if one is interested is to fly down here and go to the CAA personally. There is a map on their website that is user frienly I think.
If you want to e mail them the process can be tedious and all paperwork you send here
has to be certified.
There does seem to be work here as the eocnomic downturn up north has not got here yet and there will always be some charter work about as distances are so great.
But no one seems very interested in helping sort out work permits which is a differnt thing anyway. For that, here is a link
South African Department of Home Affairs
and
Working in SA: work permits - SouthAfrica.info
There is one guy on Pprune who can add to this licensing I think and I defer to his input if he makes it.
Otherwise, I hope this is of some use. I think that the work permit is the hardest thing to arrange but perhaps it is not 'always' necessary even if it might 'always' be a legal requirement.
I hope this helps some of you......
