DateDeath was 1900/1901-01-01 SAWGP unknown-date placeholder; set to Unknown. EstBirthYear derived from that date cleared.
SASFA In Memoriam (operators): confirmed Special Forces operator. SASFA: Izumbo T DOI 1986. https://www.recce.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/4.1.-Memoriam.pdf SASFA Izumbo T DOI 1986 confirmed operator. ROH DateDeath Unknown / Caprivi accidental discharge; initials T match. Year 1986 not written into DateDeath (placeholder was 1900/01). SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 80627912CK cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "IZAKS, NICOLAAS CHRISTIAAN" (RFN, Sterf 02 12 80), matching PersonNumber 30796 (Izaks, DateDeath 1980-12-02) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "80627912CK". 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.
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Nicolaas Christiaan") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 30796 ("Izaks, Nicolaas Christiaan", initials N C) -- this record's own stored initials (T) don't match "Nicolaas Christiaan" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 30796 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed, AddInfo (also an exact copy from the same neighbour) cleared likewise.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("1 Sa Cape") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
7 Sep 2026: CauseDeath was a forward-fill copy from PN 30796 (Izaks, Nicolaas Christiaan (N C)), an unrelated record -- cleared as contamination (CauseDeath-contamination scan, data/causedeath-contamination-scan-2026-09-07.md), not a real cause.
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".
