Forging Pilot Licenses for personal gain and to write somebody else’s exam???

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this thread. If not I beg the moderators to forgive me and to move this thread to a more appropriate place on this forum.

See below SACAA statements:
Civil Aviation Authority secures first major conviction
http://www.caa.co.za/Media%20Stateme...%20aviator.pdf

Man arrested for forging a South African commercial license
http://www.caa.co.za/Media%20Stateme...%20license.pdf

This scares the living daylights out of me. If 2 people have been caught doing this this year, it makes me wonder how many people I am flying with up there with have forged licenses or with licences that somebody else wrote the exams for.

Then on the same page you get this statement:

Civil Aviation Authority concerned about recent spate of aircraft accidents
http://www.caa.co.za/Media%20Stateme...0accidents.pdf

Damn, I wonder why?!?!?!

Good on the SACAA for cracking down on these idiots. They need to do more. We all need to do more to stop this. We have enough bad drivers with forged/fake/bought licenses on our roads. Please lets please just keep them out of of the air.
