Hi Bob
Very interesting statement regarding accidents by 43 graduates. I have done my PPL over there in 2001, and some advanced flying in 2002 and 2003.
43 became over the years very busy, I think they grew too fast.
Nevertheless, I earned many hours and experience at different schools: Maluti Air (2004 and 2005), Bevrick Air (2005), Pretoria Flying School (2006) and in the last two years I have been to a fantastic small flying school, Eagle Flight Academy, between Hartswater and Christiana. They have a private airfield, 2.5km long gravel strip, exellent accomodations and services. On top, the rates are more than competitive.
If someone is looking for a more personal and familiar atmosphere, then he should try this one...
Happy landings!
Thomas
