Tributes are rolling in for two South African entertainment icons who recently passed away – Kevin Savage and Barry Ronge.
Both media legends, Savage and Ronge kept us entertained for years in various formats of media.
Ronge was the former editor of the arts for the Sunday Times and was favoured by the country as a film critic. He even had the Sunday Times SA literature prize named after him. Ronge was also a beloved presenter on 702. After Ronge retired from the public, he lived out his last years in seclusion in Johannesburg, as TimesLive reports. He passed away at 74 years old.
Following the loss of Ronge, Savage passed away at 69 years old, after battling cancer.
Kevin was known for his voice which scored him the title of an incredible radio icon. He was loved for his presence on both 5FM and Hot102.7FM where numerous South Africans lent their ears to his musings and magic.
“RIP Sav. You were one of a kind. Thanks for the advice. Welcome to the great gig in the sky. Respect,” Jacaranda FM’s Barney Simon said of Savage’s passing.
