Research notes
Locality was wrongly set to "Gauteng" -- corrected 28 Aug 2026 as part of a broader systemic fix: a large batch of records (thousands, mostly DateChecked 2026-08-17 and a few other dates) were defaulted to Gauteng regardless of the person's actual origin. This record's own AddInfo places them outside South Africa entirely, so Locality is cleared rather than guessed at a specific province.
