ref. "The Covert War" by Peter Stiff
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 28 May 2024: Special Warrant Officer David Gabriel, Koevoet, shot dead on the Ondangwa–Oshakati road by a SWAPO/PLAN hitchhiker who took his FN rifle, age 36. Graham gave no service number. ROH SN 76926781SP also sits on Gabriel R. PN 30452 (32 Bn, 1984) — not assigned as David's. SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 76926781SP cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "GABRIEL, RODRIGUES" (CPL, Sterf 14 07 84), matching PersonNumber 30452 (Gabriel, DateDeath 1984-07-14) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "76926781SP". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong.
