South Africa is where I was looking to carry out my PPL.

It was just dropping from R19 to the GBP and was around R17/1GBP.

Making R75k ~ £4,400

Now that the GBP is weaker again the exchange rate is around R13.5/1GBP

As seen here;

GBP/ZAR Currency Conversion Chart - Yahoo! Finance

R75K is over £5,500 and that's before you add the flight at £700 to get there.

Worth looking into though.
