Marutla (R D)

Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 24 Aug 2026: 94665288 Private R D Marutla, South African Army, shot dead at Hammanskraal by persons unknown. Age conflict: source gives 32, this record has 21 -- not overwritten, flagged.
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 ("4 South African Infantry Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
14 Oct 2026: FirstName "First Name Unknown" cleared -- a literal placeholder string, not a real name, treated as blank per John's instruction extending the Khaile (31046) fix. Initials left untouched, being a genuine value distinct from the placeholder.
14 Oct 2026: AGE-SHARING CLUSTER NOTED, NOT CLEARED. Age 21 shared with the immediately preceding record, Marumo (31644) -- see note on 31644.
14 Oct 2026: CONFIRMED CONTAMINATION, CLEARED (not replaced -- no concurrent source gives a figure). Age 21 was shared identically with the immediately preceding record, Marumo (31644) -- see note on 31644.
14 Oct 2026: SAWGP confirms Initials R D. SAWGP's Regiment "South African Army" is generic against this record's own specific Unit "4 South African Infantry Battalion" -- not a conflict, just less precise.
