Research notes

30 Sep 2026: FirstName "Eric B" / Age 41 CLEARED -- contamination leaked from PersonNumber 35628 (Makalane, Eric B), same FirstName+Age forward-fill bug as the 28 Sep sweep (2,047 + 304 records), but this run was fragmented by non-contaminated intervening PersonNumbers and escaped both prior contiguous-run passes. Flagged by Mike Sandham (SAWGP), 30 Sep 2026 email, "(+14 others?)" -- 15 confirmed.
2 Oct 2026: UNCONFIRMED LEAD, NOT APPLIED. Mike Sandham (SAWGP) omissions email, 1 Oct 2026, under "October 1982": "A South African Police Security Branch member Killed in skirmishes with MK: KwaZulu (Possibly S134930R Detective Sergeant B V Makhaye KOAS - COIN duty within South Africa 1982-10-09?)" -- ANC Second Submission to the TRC. Sandham's own note: "Unable to confirm name of alleged casualty." ServiceNo and date match this record, but the source itself cannot confirm the name. No field changed.
