Good day, can someone please tell me whether I can create / fly my own routes? I want to fly some routes in South Africa. And how do I schedule that if so?

I believe, and I am new here, but I think that you just have to look in the schedule and find a flight that suites you, say if you want to fly out of Cape Town just put that as you starting, or ending Airport. Just click "Find a Flight" in the Pilot Center and you get many different options to figure out where to fly. Also I believe you can have the schedule make up a schedule for you starting at your last location. A lot of options I think.

No, you can't create and fly your own routes. However, you can request a charter of a route you want to fly. But you have to have a valid reason for it. "Because I want to fly in South Africa" isn't a valid reason. There was a Delta 763 MX flight from Singapore to Anchorage a while back, and I requested that as a charter. That is an example of a valid reason.
