ref. "The Covert War" by Peter Stiff
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 05 Apr 2026: Special Constable Wilino Shamoketa, SWAPOL COIN Ops-K (Koevoet), Killed in Action during a contact with SWAPO/PLAN insurgents in Northern Owamboland, age 28. ROH age is 25 (not overwritten). Graham gave no service number (ROH S/---). SN CLEARED 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo was "S/---" -- a placeholder/incomplete value, not a real service number, that happened to collide with another record holding the identical placeholder text. Cleared rather than treated as a genuine collision.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 28 against this record's 25. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
