He was appointed MK Chief of Staff in 1992 , and served on the Transitional Executive Council which oversaw the change of government in 1994 . Maj Gen Nyanda transferred to the South African National Defence Force , into which MK was incorporated in 1994 , and served successively as Chief of Defence Force Staff ( 1994 - 1996 ) , General Officer Commanding Gauteng Command ( 1996 - 1997 ) , Deputy Chief of the SANDF ( 1997 - 1998 ) , and Chief of the SANDF ( 1998 - 2005 ) . Awards and decorations . In 1999 General Nyanda was awarded the Order of the Star of South Africa ( Gold ) Performance as Communications Minister . Nyanda was a controversial figure throughout the 18 months that he was minister of communications . Dubbed the “ minister of luxury ” by South Africa ’ s Mail & Guardian , Nyanda was alleged to have spent hundreds of thousands of rands living in a luxurious Cape Town hotel throughout his tenure because he was unhappy with the ministerial house appointed to him . At the same time as the allegations surrounding his living arrangements came to light , Nyanda ’ s private business was under scrutiny . A company , in which Nyanada ’ s family owned 45 % , called GNS Risk Management Services ( subsequently renamed Abalozi Security Risk Advisory Services ) was accused of impropriety in a tender process in March 2010 . Amongst its numerous clients were several parastatals , including Transnet Freight Rail , passenger train company Metrorail , state bus company Autopax , and the Gauteng provincial government . It later emerged that Transnet Freight Rail had been involved in the awarding of tenders without following the correct procedures . Amongst the tenders that were questioned was one security contract valued at ZAR55million , awarded to GNS Risk Management Services . Transnet ’ s CEO , Siyabonga Gama , was dismissed when the allegations came to light . However , Nyanda was not reprimanded . In October 2010 , Nyanda came under fire for the suspension of communications ministry director general Mamodupi Mohlala . It was reported that in July 2010 , on the day that Nyanda axed Mohlala , she had reported tender irregularities worth ZAR70 million to the police for a fraud investigation and had reportedly called for disciplinary action against several senior civil servants . Nyanda fervently denied the allegations , labeling them “ false , spurious and malicious ” . However , shortly after the story regarding the removal of Mohlala came out , Nyanda was removed from his position in the Ministry of Communications . Despite the numerous suggestions of political impropriety , Nyanda was subsequently appointed as a parliamentary counselor to President Jacob Zuma , a position he holds today .

Sikorsky CH - 54 Tarhe The Sikorsky CH - 54 Tarhe is a twin - engine heavy - lift helicopter designed by Sikorsky Aircraft for the United States Army . It is named after Tarhe ( whose nickname was " The Crane " ) , an 18th - century chief of the Wyandot Indian tribe . The civil version is the S - 64 Skycrane . Development . Initial work on the Sikorsky " sky - crane " helicopter s began in 1958 with the piston - engined Sikorsky S - 60 . The first flight of the turboshaft - powered S - 64 Skycrane was 9 May 1962 , with the United States Army eventually purchasing 105 , designating them CH - 54 . Used in Vietnam for transport and downed - aircraft retrieval , it was highly successful , thanks to the ' adaptable ' nature of the module system first conceived by General James M . Gavin in his book " Airborne Warfare " in 1947 . Early pods could not carry troops and external sling - loads at the same time . Advanced pods for the CH - 54 could carry troops and cargo underslung at the same time but were not purchased . The Skycrane can not only hold its cargo up and tight against its center spine to lessen drag and eliminate the pendulum effect when flying forward , it can winch vehicles up and down from a hovering position , so the helicopter does not need to land . Due to budget cuts the Heavy Lift Helicopter ( HLH ) program was canceled and the CH - 54s not upgraded with larger engines . The Boeing CH - 47 Chinook gradually supplemented it in combat and eventually replaced it in Regular Army aviation units , although CH - 54 Skycranes remained in Army National Guard service until the early 1990s . The Soviet Union also created much larger crane helicopters with a similar skeletal design . Today , Erickson Air - Crane of Central Point , Oregon operates the largest fleet of S - 64 helicopters in the world under the name Erickson S - 64 Aircrane , which can be equipped with water - dropping equipment ( some also have foam / gel capability ) for firefighting duties worldwide . After obtaining the type certificate and manufacturing rights in 1992 , Erickson remains the manufacturer and world ' s largest operator of S - 64s . Survivors . A large number of surviving airframes exist in flyable condition as well as in museum collections worldwide .
