Embarrasing Saffers!

To the crew of ZS-PSB inbound to FCPP today. You gave the ATC hassles about speaking french to a french pilot. You seem to be under the impression that Congo is a english speaking country. Congo abides by ASECNA rules i.e. they can speak french on the radio. As far as I know they are not members of ICAO and are not required to speak english on the radio. They do that as a courtesy to you {and I} as we are english speaking GUESTS in their country. Remember that, when you are flying around the lowveld having a chat in Afrikaans to your mates in Nelspruit tower. You are an embarrassment to all us South Africans working in West Africa and to Naturelink. Try and act a bit more like the professionals you are supposed to be!
