    Yes, it was around the time of Will Smith making 'ALI' which was partly shot in South Africa.

    He's been sick for awhile now and they don't say.

    Probably cancer or Aids.

    RIP.

    Seem to remember some sort of charity appeal for a collection on his behalf some years ago ...seems he has been in bad health for years, poor man.
    RIP Baby Jake.

    Should add that when he was at his best, Baby Jake was a heck of a fighter. Carbajal may have been past his peak, but stopping him is no mean feat...especially when one considers that Matlala wasn't ever really regarded as being a huge puncher.
