You're absolutely right Bakela.

It was a military Oryx. Four POB. The SA Police Airwing casavac'd them to hospital. Nobody killed, but the injuries quite serious.

The helicopter is lying in a heap on the runway threshold, and the Airport is temporarily closed. Knowing the Forces, the Board of inquiry will probably only get there next week, so someone will have to take some pictures for them so that the wreck can be removed, and so that Air Traffic at Durban can return to normal.
