Default Flying In Africa

I'm from Zimbabwe and flew the 737-200 for a year there. african Aviation is not as bad as many may think, especially in the south.
South African Airways would be a great company to work for but at moment they are training their nationals.

Many other exciting opportunities exist in South Africa and Zimbabwe(maybe not right now)ie; flying tourist in and out of safaris with all expeneses paid for. I remeber a guy from Seychelles who was flying Barons in Zimbabwe. So i'm sure smaller outfits can offer flying opportunities.

I think East Africa(Kenya,Tanzania) and Southern Africa(Botswana,Namibia,South Africa, Malawi Zambia) would be great places to earn good money for young people who are not afraid to travel.It maybe piston time but i think its more enjoyable.

Hopefully the industry here will bounce back soon.
