Son of Mrs. B. M. Kanyane
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 17 Sep 2026: 93663565PV Rifleman Thaloki John Kanyane, 7 SAI, killed in the same Ops Boleas vehicle accident as Makalela (31513). Two CONFLICTS flagged, not changed: age (this record 22, Graham 25), and place -- this record says "at Bloemfontein", while Graham, and Makalela's own record, put the accident in Lesotho.
Bushwar Books "Lest We Forget 17 September" (warbooks.co.za/posts/lest-we-forget-17-september/), cross-checked 17 Sep 2026: age 25 (agreeing with Graham against this record's 22), but places the accident "in Bloemfontein" -- agreeing with THIS record against Graham's Lesotho. Bushwar does not list Makalela (31513), whose record says Lesotho. Location now two sources to one for Bloemfontein; could be an Ops Boleas vehicle that crashed in Bloemfontein en route. Not resolved.
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".

defenceWeb, "SANDF peacekeeper fatalities" and "DRC deaths pushed SANDF peacekeeper fatalities to over 100 since democracy" (compiled lists). Confirms existing record. NOT linked to the De Brug Wall of Remembrance -- that memorial explicitly excludes Operation Boleas (Lesotho) dead per its own stated scope.
