SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 64186067E cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "HANEKOM, " (CPL, Sterf 26 04 75), matching PersonNumber 30615 (Hanekom, DateDeath 1975-04-26) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "64186067E". 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.
