I am willing to bet that the SA government has some 'people' in training, almost certainly in a foreign country somewhere, currently on the go. That foreign country will probably have done a trade deal with SA, for example, "We will train a few pilots for you, whilst in return you do us a deal on cheap diamonds/gold/food/whatever".
That 'training' will be mediocre at best, and it will be given to a cadre of politically connected people (those of the correct political persuasion). Let me be clear that these people will not have been chosen for their aptitude, merely their political connections. They will suddenly turn up back in SA, claiming all the qualifications under the sun, and begin 'operating' in those currently unoccupied posts in the police. Shortly thereafter you will see aviation hardware coming to grief in unnatural and bent poses all over the place, some of it pretty terminal. One only has to look just north of the border in SA to see the precedents for that.
Africa doesn't 'do' democracy. It isn't part of the accepted culture. Think back (and not that far, either ....) to the kings and chiefs of the various tribes and kingdoms. They were not elected, they were chosen by a few, or ordained by birth and/or 'connections'.
