124.4 if you remain below 3500 ft
Above that you will have to talk to George Tower/Approach 118.9
It falls within a General Flying Area FAD 155

Mossel Bay 's frequency is 124.2 because of the George Special Rules.
FAD 155 does not exists anymore. See the AIP-ENR where it is not listed anymore. In the AIRAC supplement where the new George Rules were announced in Oct 06 it speaks about a certain area below the TMA "has been identified for general and training flying" and not that this area is now the new FAD 155. Also the AIP lists the FAMB frequency as 124.2. I did ask FAGG ATC who confirm all this.
Mossel Bay tell on their website mosselbayaero.com that the frequency is 124.4 but I just spoke to local pilot Roger Brink who says that this is wrong.
After the change there nearly two years ago it is time that people do the right thing.

in the last message FAMB should be FAMO. Mossel Bay is meant and not Middelburg.

I think ATNS/CAA need to take some responsibility here too as to why it got so confusing.
In the AIP supplement that was mentioned earlier here, the changes had been made. Then in the next AIP cycle, they simply disappeared making the supplement 'outdated' and now superceded by the 'incorrect' info. Seems someone had forgotten to carry these changes through into the next full publication. I think it has been corrected and carried forward correctly since.
