Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 25 Aug 2026 / Bushwar Books: confirms shot dead by persons unknown at Mandelaview while on foot patrol in Katlehong, age 21. NOTE: PersonNumber 32864 shares this identical ServiceNo (90704834HJ) with a wholly different account -- "Died of Medical Reason...while off duty" at Potgietersrust, age 43 -- almost certainly a mismatched/wrong record, unresolved. MERGE 25 Aug 2026: PersonNumber 32864 ("Sekonyela, Ambros Nljanyana", same ServiceNo 90704834HJ, same DateDeath 1991-08-25) deleted as a duplicate of this record -- confirmed by Mike Sandham's independent research ("Duplication: Same person") plus corroboration from the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF (Van=Sekonyela, Naam=Nljanyana) and warinangola.com's 21 SAI Battalion unit profile. The deleted record's uncorroborated claim was "Died of Medical Reason, at Potgietersrust, while off duty", age 43 -- treated as a legacy data error inherited from the original ROH compilation, not a second real person.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("21 Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: filled Age, EstBirthYear -- each of these was EMPTY on this record and no existing value was changed. Derived fields recomputed inline where applicable.
