26 Aug 2026: Unit leftover "7 South African Infantry Battalion" → Maintenance Unit (SAWGP Unit); Regiment "SA Army" → Far North Command (SAWGP Regiment).
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 16 Sep 2026: 93778223 Private L.F. Mabatlo, Far North Command Maintenance Unit, died of disease in Pietersburg Hospital, age 34. SN/date/cause already matched. CONFLICTS flagged, not changed: Graham age 34 vs stored Age 32; stored FirstName "Ephraim Conright" does not match stored Initials "L F" -- pre-existing mismatch, not resolved here (possible FirstName contamination).
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".
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Ephraim Conright' and Age 32 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 31448 down a contiguous run of 8 records -- this record's own LastName ('Mabatlo'), Initials ('L F'), ServiceNo ('93778223') and DateDeath ('1998-09-16') 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 ('Maintenance Unit') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
