That is not a typo. It appears that Ernie Pieterse, another South African privateer of the sixties/seventies era, passed away two years ago outside of the view of the motorsport world. My only source at the moment is the Notalgia Forum, but the poster in question is usually pretty reliable about these things.
EDIT: Richard Jenkins got the exact date: http://www.oldracingcars.com/driver/Ernie_Pieterse
RIP Ernest Pieterse (1938-2017)
