Same class of error as the Sekonjela/Sekonyela merge earlier the same day. DATE DISCREPANCY 25 Aug 2026: pantser.cmvo.org.za's SADF deaths PDF gives this person's Sterf (date of death) as "02 04 83" (DD MM YY) against the same ServiceNo (80563422BG) and name -- differs from this record's DateDeath (1983-02-04).
