Media24 mourns passing of Prof Gerwel
Media24 CEO Esmaré Weideman said: "Prof was not only a wonderful chairman, but also a true mentor. His quiet yet incisive leadership and insight into the media - and Media24 in particular - grounded us all. The first thing he always asked me, in our regular chats, was 'And how are the people?' He really loved this company. We have lost a father figure. Our thoughts are with his wife Phoebe and his family."
Fellow directors on the Media24 board added their thoughts. Ruda Landman: "End of an era, of someone who made a difference during this crucial period in our country." Prof Rachel Jafta: "We'll miss his dignified presence in so many aspects of our lives."
Prof Gerwel made a valuable contribution to the group and will be sorely missed by the board and all employees of Media24.
