Research notes

26 Aug 2026: Corps from SAWGP Regiment South African Infantry Corps; Unit leftover "South West Africa Police Counter-Insurgency Wing: Ops-K Division (KOEVOET)" → 21 South African Infantry Battalion (SAWGP Unit).
Col (rt) Graham du Toit, Last Post, 29 Aug 2026 gives Rfn Sibusiso Mvokluana, 21 Battalion, shot himself at Umtata after being involved in a military vehicle accident, age 36. CONFLICT: ROH record has FirstName 'Johannes' (initial '(S)' matches Graham's 'Sibusiso', not 'Johannes' -- possible data contamination) and Age 24 (vs Graham's 36, a large gap). Note also: ServiceNo 93656221 is shared by three other unrelated records (PersonNumber 32127, 32128, 32129 -- all age 45, different dates/units) -- a pre-existing collision, not resolved here per the 4+-holder caution rule. Not overwritten -- flagged for manual review.
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 ("21 South African Infantry Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
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".
