STARS dissapeared a few years ago. I shot the EC135 when they had it. From what I understand AMS got the contract and now have a fleet of EC130s, B2s, B3s and A119s on ems work around SA. They were at Heli Expo taking delivery of another Koala so are expanding quite well and good to see they have nice modern equipment as well.
