Makokowa (J)

4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "Rhodesian Corps of Engineers" (a branch, not a specific regiment) moved to Corps, per John's decision on the broader Regiment/Corps field-swap review.
25 Sep 2026, Rhodesian squadron split: this record was moved from the combined entity "7 Squadron (RSF)" to "7 Squadron, Rhodesian Corps of Engineers". That entity held both the Rhodesian Air Force flying squadron and the Rhodesian Corps of Engineers squadron of the same number, which are unrelated units; it was created by a cleanup that split shared squadron names by Force alone, and Force does not separate two Rhodesian squadrons. This record is assigned on the evidence of its own Corps column naming the Rhodesian Corps of Engineers outright, not on the squadron number.
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Mtshayeli Philemon' and Age 37 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 40489 down a contiguous run of 3 records -- this record's own LastName ('Makokowa'), Initials ('J'), ServiceNo ('647856') and DateDeath ('1980-04-25') are all genuinely distinct, confirming a different real person whose FirstName/Age were simply never captured. Unlike the first pass of this sweep, Unit is NOT touched here -- it is not part of this contamination (see the Unit-restoration correction on the related run) and this record's own Unit ('7 Squadron, Rhodesian Corps of Engineers') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
