His manager Evo Dos Ramos said Ma-Willies had not been well recently and they had made plans for him to go into hospital today.
He said when he spoke to the rough-throated singer yesterday they agreed that he would go into hospital.
“We do not know what the cause is but we suspected TB because he had the symptons,” he said.
“Base 2 Base would like to pass its condolences to his wife and children,” said Dos Ramos.
Makhubela had just finished recording his latest album, titled Shark is Moving with Base 2 Base Records when he fell sick.
Ma-Willies featured on the albums of Mahoota – Phula, Mandla Spikire, Jacarumba and Brown Dash.
In 1997 he was approached by Mdu Masilela, a popular producer who invited him to join his record label. That’s where his first album Intwenjani, and the name Ma-Willies was adopted.
Ma-Willies was famous for songs like Intwenjani, Gagu, Bomba o Wele Bicycle and Thula Mabota.
He released eight albums including Intwenjan, Liya Khuzikhehla, Hoezet, Ke Tswere Lotto and Kwaito Graduation.
Makhubela is survived by his wife and children.
Dos Ramos said his company would arrange a memorial service for him soon.

From the 3-8 March, a dynamic mix of established designers and up-and-coming new talent will afford fashionistas a tantalising glimpse of the hottest homegrown trends that will enhance Joburg’s image as a hotbed of edgy urban fashion inspiration.
Audiences can look forward to ravishing new designs by doyenne Marianne Fassler. Also on the menu are the elegant garments of David Tlale, the bold colours of Maya Prass, the cultural energy of Sun Godd’ess, the street-savvy yet feminine Stoned Cherrie, the tailored sophistication of Klûk CGdT, the ‘local jet-set aesthetic’ of Thula Sindi and the free-spirited creations of Fundudzi under creative director Craig Jacobs.
Fashion, Jozi style
This four-day fashion week will now take place entirely at the Sandton Convention Centre with the organisers having moved the opening day in Soweto to the Sandton Convention Centre as a result of concerns regarding traffic gridlock compounded by traffic light failures around the city. Said Evan Schiff, African Fashion International spokesperson: “The recent power cuts have made any movement in and around Joburg very challenging. We are concerned this may affect attendance at the Soweto collections and have therefore moved the shows to Sandton in consultation with the affected designers.”
Wednesday, 5 March, sees new-generation designers such as Frans Kies, Abigail Keats, Audrey Mokhari and Thembisile Mazibuko taking to the stage, followed by Siphakeme Ndlovu and MosewaMosa. Anchoring the evening will be Fassler, with Thesis and Machere hard on her heels.
On Thursday, 6 March, audiences can look forward to shows featuring Ifa Lethu and Karen Monk Klijnstra, followed by Viyella and after which Klûk CGdT and Sun Goddess will strut their stuff.
Mzansi Designers and Broken Storm open proceedings on Friday, 7 March, after which Prass, Jacobs and Tlale will set the catwalk alight with their respective shows.
Closing off Audi Joburg Fashion Week on Saturday, 8 March, will be Sindi, followed by JJ Schoeman. Stoned Cherrie gets the chance to dazzle at 8pm, with the Audi Collections Show bringing the event to a close in sexy style.
During a recent workshop, British fashion guru Avis Charles told local designers that most of the new ideas in the international fashion arena are inspired by Africa, and that the time is ripe for South African talent to make further inroads into the global fashion scene.
Audi Joburg Fashion Week promises to be an ideal platform for showcasing the best that South African designers have to offer. The event is operated by African Fashion International (AFI), which also runs Cape Town Fashion Week and the spring/summer Joburg Fashion Week.
Tickets for each show cost R100 and are available at Computicket.
