State of Play in ZA

Evening all.
I'm an Aus national looking to make the move to South Africa. I can easily obtain PR status via my partner. We live in AU, however have been finding outselves spending more and more time in ZA as things here on the East Coast just get painfully expensive.
We're contemplating making a permanent move to Cape Town. My partner (doctor) has no issues finding work, however I'm a bit concerned for myself. Ideally, Mango/Safair/Comair fit my personal desires well.
I've got about 6000 hours with 2000 on turboprops and 1500 on the 777. No 737 or 320 experience.
What is the hiring situation like in South Africa at the moment? And what are the thoughts on how the company would view a foreign national (with the legal right to work in the country) coming over?
There are comuting options available to me, but Cape Town is a long way away and I'd rather work locally.
