SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 82532581BG cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "GONCALVES, ORLANDO DE" (RFN, Sterf 03 09 85), matching PersonNumber 30491 (Goncalves, DateDeath 1985-09-03) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "82532581BG". 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.
