Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 08 Apr 2026: 84908565SW Rifleman Joao Domingos, 101 Battalion SWATF, Killed in Action during a contact with SWAPO/PLAN insurgents in Southern Angola, age 26. Same contact as Kavari N. PN 31013. ROH surname is Domingus (not overwritten). | Also Last Post 08 Apr 2024: 84908565SW Rifleman Joao Domingos, 101 Battalion, KIA SWAPO/PLAN Southern Angola, age 26. ROH surname Domingus already noted on 08 Apr 2026. | Also Last Post 08 Apr 2025: 84908565SW Rifleman Joao Domingos, 101 Battalion SWATF, KIA SWAPO/PLAN Southern Angola, age 26. ROH surname Domingus already noted. MERGE 25 Aug 2026: PersonNumber 48658 ("Domingos") deleted as a duplicate of this record -- identical ServiceNo (84908565SW) and DateDeath (1986-04-08), surname a spelling/OCR/case variant, confirmed via the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF cross-check. Same class of error as the Sekonjela/Sekonyela merge earlier the same day.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
