Ramolibe , Rammu Gordon (R G)

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 ("Maintenance Unit") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
16 Sep 2026, ServiceNo contamination sweep: the stored ServiceNo '95071023' was CLEARED. It was not a reading of this man's record. PersonNumbers 32627 to 32628 -- 2 consecutive records -- all carried the identical number, which belongs to the record at the head of that run (32627, Ramokhoase, Motlatsi Abel (O S)). A value repeated down an unbroken block of PersonNumbers is a forward-fill import artefact, not men who shared a service number; the pattern holds across 850 such runs on this roll and is independently confirmed by Mike Sandham's research log, which attaches such numbers to the head of the run 167 times against 6 contradictions (all examined). No replacement is guessed: this man's real service number is simply not known, and a blank field says so honestly where another man's number did not.
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".
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 26 Sep 2026: "Private Rammu Gordon Ramolibe from the South African Corps of military Police was killed in a private motor vehicle accident. He was 23." Surname, forenames, date and age agree.
- CAUSE CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: this record gives "Died of Medical Reason, at Orange Farm. He was off duty", coded DIS. Graham gives a private motor vehicle accident. These are not reconcilable readings of one death and nothing here settles which is right, so the stored cause and its code stand.
- UNIT CONFLICT, NOT CHANGED: this record gives "Maintenance Unit"; Graham gives the South African Corps of Military Police.
- RANK: this record carries no rank at all. Graham gives Private. Not filled in, because the rest of his entry conflicts with this record and a rank taken from a disputed source would be no better founded than the cause.
