I've never heard the term Centurian for that area but halfway between JHB and Pretoria would be Midrand with its airport named Grand Central and home, at least at one time, of Chapter 322. I was a member for a while. There's tons of aviation resources and history over there. I think KR's are still a popular aircraft in SA, although it makes sense that KR plans would be more easily found here. The ANC is continuing their efforts to turn the country into another black disaster or, to quote our eloquent President, another "shithole country." A lot of good people, some with their planes, have left for other places and what a shame that is. They're leaving behind one of the most spacious, beautiful countries on the planet. South Africa, when I lived there, was far more modeled on the U.S. way of life than it was modeled on (what one might think, considering it was settled by various waves of Europeans) the congestion and high prices of Europe. The country is being slowly modeled these days into something that more closely resembles Rhodesia, now that it's called Zimbabwe. White farmers are being assasinated, similar to what Mugabe did in Rhodesia, in order to "redistribute" the land more equitably - which means rich farmland is going into the hands of ANC toadies. I lived there during the elections, when Mandela was made President, and when the country's money, the Rand, was worth 8 Rands for a U.S. Dollar. Currently the Rand has dropped 50% against the dollar. As long as socialists (actually communists) run the country the Rand will continue to fall. It's a hard choice, leaving a paradise behind, but for people with assets they've worked their lives for, the future looks rather bleak. Recent rumors indicate the government is thinking to get their grimy hands on private pension/investment funds and while that might take a few years, it's just a matter of time. The Africans are simply taking what is rightfully "theirs." The same old story. Leaving Syria or Iraq for greener pastures is one thing. Leaving RSA, a true paradise, is another. Kudos to Mr. Griffen for apparently deciding to try and hold the line, at least long enough to finish building a KR..
