Fellow Commonwealth Games wrestler and member of Brakpan Wrestling Club Michael Gaitskill (22) was also in the car at the time of the accident and is apparently recovering well in the Wilgers Hospital in Pretoria.
Based in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, Combrinck was a regular visitor to Brakpan for training purposes.
He and Gaitskill were preparing for the u-23 World Championships later this year.

A memorial was held for Combrink on June 22 in Kempton Park at the Dutch Reformed Church.
A fund-raising event is in the pipeline to help with the medical bills of Gaitskill.
Sponsorship of items of value is sought to help generate funds.
