You probably won't find any more online, as most of the mainstream SA newspapers went online for the first time in 1999.
There's my friend's dad and R&G's friend's dad, who may or may not be the same person. I know I've read other reports in the past few years.

Their death was the last of 5 deaths since 1987 that eventually forced the Western Cape administration to close the route for major road works. (It is interesting to note that there had been 8 fatalities from motor accidents since 1994 on Ou Kaapse Weg, the alternative route to Kommetjie, Noordhoek, and Cape Point.)
