Hi Melinda,

I did some searching online and found a couple of records that may be of interest:

1.

I assume No. 1 is the death notice of his first wife, and the second one is Charles Matthew's own death notice. So judging from this he did indeed remarry and died in 1939.

Some other records that popped up during the search:

3.
Death of Maria Mathilda's husband:

4.
Charles Matthew's naturalization application?

Google translate of the content: "SUPERINTENDENT OF NATURALS. NATURELLEN COMMISSIONER, RHENOSTERPOORT SENDS IN THE APPLICATION OF C STRANDBERG TO STILL 5 NATURAL HOUSEHOLDS AT ZYN PLACE."

I also got a hit in another database:

No idea what type of record it is, but they can be contacted here:

I would try to get a hold on copies of at least Charles Matthew's death notice and his presumed naturalization application - both may give clues to his background! And perhaps the "mystery" hit from the Pietermaritzburg archive could give some unexpected new info.
