I'm going to do my PPL in SA in April/May, have settled on doing it in Cape Town because we have family there and we're trying to keep the costs down.
It might be worth pointing out that there are rumours that the SA CAA is about to change the way (1st of May) in which the theory exams are delivered, which might mean having to wait up to 2 weeks to get your results if you're not taking them in Midrand (at the CAA as far as I'm aware). Google "New CAA PPL Exam System" which should come up with a SA based forum where this is being discussed. Understandably a lot of the schools are upset about this, and rightly so. (I'm hoping to squeeze all the exams in by the end of April)
One can only hope they realise the impact of this and come up with a more workable solution in good time.
