Gebeure van die dag: Hy was in 8 SAI, Alpha kompanjie, Peloton 5. Oorlede by Riemvasmaak, Upington a.g.v. elektriese skok. Dit was in /- November of Desember 1983, ‘n paar dae voor uitklaar.

Ons het almal in sementdam geswem, en hy het op kant gestaan met nat plakkies. Het toe sy balans verloor en gegryp na oorhoofse 380V kabel wat bo-oor dam gespan was.

Het toe gegly en in die water beland en met die kabel in die hand, was hy tragies dood geskok.
