Lardbeast and Dublin Flyer.
I'm off to SA in July for six weeks to take a PPL course after sending off emails to the US schools and not having much luck (frankly, most replies were less than useless). I've found a school called FTC-SA and the replies they've sent me are wonderful! (No I don't have any connection!) If you're interested I can forward you the details but basically with the SA Rand so low it's cheap for Brits and Irish students to go there (I'm a Brit but I'm working in Germany so the costs will be higher but it does still equate happily to the USD. The costs for the course (all in with a medical, books, baggage class flight to SA et ceterae) is around 4,000 GBP so it's extremely good value.
