ref. "The Covert War" by Peter Stiff
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 71329221N cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "HAHN, KEITH" (RFN, Sterf 18 07 73), matching PersonNumber 30589 (Hahn, DateDeath 1973-07-18) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "71329221N". 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.
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Tobia' and Age 21 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 30593 down a contiguous run of 2 records -- this record's own LastName ('Hakonya'), Initials ('M'), ServiceNo ('') and DateDeath ('1982-07-14') are all genuinely distinct, confirming a different real person whose FirstName/Age were simply never captured. Unlike the first pass of this sweep, Unit is NOT touched here -- it is not part of this contamination (see the Unit-restoration correction on the related run) and this record's own Unit ('South West Africa Police Counter-Insurgency Wing: Ops-K Division (KOEVOET)') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
