It is with great sadness to report that Mark Pilgrim has lost his courageous battle against cancer and passed away at 10.45am this morning, Sunday, 5 March 2023:
Pilgrim broke the news to his followers last year, that after 33 years of his cancer being in remission, he had been re-diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.
Pilgrim was a shining light in the South African broadcasting industry, and will be deeply missed for his exceptional talent, incredible skill, and positive attitude. He began his radio career in the 1980s on Voice of Wits campus radio before joining 5FM in 1995. After leaving 5FM in 2003, he moved on to 94.7 Highveld Stereo in Johannesburg.
He initially hosted a Saturday morning show from 9am to 12pm, but eventually returned to radio full-time and also hosted a Monday to Friday show from 9am to 12pm.
