Shetlele , Mathews Tinyika (M T)

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 27 against this record's 30. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 26 Sep 2026: "93662732PY Rifleman Mathews Tinyika Shetlele from 7 SAI was killed when his Buffel Troop Carrier overturned at Vhembe Base. He was 27. (DOB 26-Sep-1968)"
- CAUSE OF DEATH REPLACED, and it was never his. This record read "Killed in action, rocket attack in Oruzgan Province" -- Oruzgan is in AFGHANISTAN, and no South African rifleman of 7 SAI died there in 1995. PersonNumber 32916, the record immediately above this one, is Gregory Michael Sher of 1 Commando Regiment (Australia), killed by rocket attack in Oruzgan Province on 4 January 2009. The text is his, forward-filled onto this record -- the same import artefact already cleared out of ServiceNo, Unit and forenames across this roll. CauseCode changed from KIA to MVA accordingly.
- AGE CONFLICT RESOLVED, and Mike Sandham was right. On 16 Sep 2026 his List 1 gave 27 against this record's 30, and the note written then said there was no date of birth and so "nothing to adjudicate with". Graham now supplies it: 26 September 1968. He died on his twenty-seventh birthday. Age corrected 30 to 27 and EstBirthYear 1965 to 1968.
- The forward-fill continues below him: PersonNumber 32918, Shezi, carries this man's forenames "Mathews Tinyika" against his own initials "S S". Flagged on that record.
