At the FTO that I am at, there are currently 3 people who attained a CPL and ATPL in South Africa who are now converting to a JAR Licence. They will tell you that they spent a lot of money in SA for a licence that was not worth the paper it was written on in the UK!! The conversion course is just as expensive as doing it in this country in the first place!
If you email me I can put you in touch with those people if you want it from the 'horses mouth'
