The vast majority of Transkei special forces wings on the market are unnumbered, unissued badges that were surplus stock left over after all the Homeland defence forces were amalgamated into the new SANDF. This badge however, is numbered. Sadly the TDF records have been lost so it's impossible to find out who the wings were issued to, but I am fairly confident they were issued to a Rhodesian for two reasons:

The auction I bought them from several years ago sold a large collection of Rhodesian SAS and Selous Scouts items from the same seller on the same day. 

They are a low number, and Rhodesians were among the first to join Transkei Special Forces. 

The lot also includes a beret badge and some warrant officer badges (which were all bought together with the wings so presumably had the same original owner). The warrant officer badges are the earlier bullion wire type, further pointing towards these badges belonging to one of the original Rhodesian who joined  the TDF.

I can find no record of numbered Transkei Special Forces wings being sold online, so don't miss out on this opportunity to buy one as it may not ever come up again.
