Molebatsi (R L)

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 Parachute Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 22 Sep 2026: "96830435 Rifleman R.L. Molebatsi from the South African Army died of malaria at Ndumo. He was 24." CONTAMINATION FOUND AND CLEARED. This record's FirstName read "Espa Ramotsielwa", which is copied from PersonNumber 31809 (Molatole, whose own initials E R match it). This man's initials are R L -- exactly what Graham gives, "R.L. Molebatsi" -- and "Espa Ramotsielwa" cannot produce them. The forename has been CLEARED rather than guessed at; the initials are the surviving evidence of his name. Same forward-fill artefact swept on 16 and 19 Sep 2026. Graham also gives his age as 24 against this record's 23, and the cause of death as malaria at Ndumo; age flagged, not changed.
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".
