SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 75339440PE cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "WESSELS, LOUIS THEODORUS" (CPL, Sterf 15 01 81), matching PersonNumber 33840 (Wessels, DateDeath 1981-01-15) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "75339440PE". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong.
