The pilot with 5 passengers on board were on a military flight from Kimberley to AFB Waterkloof. During the flight on entering the JHB TMA, radar informed the pilot that the transponder were intermitted. The pilot stated that he then observed that both generators were off-line causing a complete electrical failure. The pilot lowered the gear with the emergency extension system, but during landing the main undercarriage collapsed. The cause of the unusual complete electrical failure was due to a sheared starter-generator drive shaft on the right- hand engine and an undetermined failure of the generator on the left-hand engine. Temporary repairs were carried out to the aircraft, the drive shaft on the right-hand starter-generator was replaced and the aircraft was flown with the left-hand generator inoperative to an AMO at Lanseria PROBABLE CAUSE: The complete electrical failure was due to a failed starter-generator shaft on the right-hand engine and a defective left-hand generator.
