He was then offered a coaching position in South Africa and he and his wife decided to relocate there permanently. Jackman later moved into broadcasting, and for many in South Africa he was 'the voice of cricket' during the transformative years in which the nation moved back into the international arena after so long in international isolation because of the apartheid regime. His voice sounded more gravelly but no less distinguished after he was treated for cancerous tumours on his vocal cords in 2012. Jackman then became a TV commentator on various international cricket tournaments; latterly, he was on the commentary team for the Indian Premier League. He did most of his work for the South Africa-based pay-television channel SuperSport.
