Research notes


Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 17 Sep 2026: 95074761PV Rifleman Sipho Thokozani Dlamini, 5 SAI, self-inflicted R4 gunshot, died at Manguzi Hospital, age 24 -- exact match. DUPLICATE: Mike Sandham OMISSIONS: 17 SEPTEMBER (mailed 17 Sep 2026, credited The South Africa War Graves Project) flags 33264 "Thokozani, Sipho" 95084761PV as the same man (same date, age, unit and cause; forename recorded as surname; one service-number digit different, 7 vs 8). Graham's number matches THIS record. Merge held pending John.
17 Sep 2026: MERGED duplicate PersonNumber 33264 into this record on John's instruction, after Mike Sandham's 17 Sep omissions mail identified it. 33264 read "Thokozani, Sipho (S)", 95084761PV -- the forename Thokozani recorded as the surname, and one service-number digit different -- with the same date of death, age (24), unit (5 SAI) and cause. Graham du Toit's Last Post the same day gives 95074761PV, matching this record, so this record's number is kept. SAWGP itself carries both entries (details.php?id=33264 and id=30090); both links are kept here. 33264's SAWGP 'no image' placeholder and its duplicate SADF Wall of Remembrance link were removed, and 33264 deleted.
