Film critic Barry Ronge has died. He was one of South Africa’s most loved movie critics. The Buz Factor’s Bridget Van Oerle spoke to eNCA about Ronge’s life and legacy in the media industry.
A well-known and highly respected media personality, journalist, broadcaster and raconteur, he was one of the country’s most widely read columnists. Spit ‘n Polish was published in what was then the Sunday Times magazine and, as he wrote in his final column on February 23 2014:
For the last 27 years I have been spitting and polishing … I’m not tired of it, or bored with it. It has been a good companion, and it has given me an opportunity to observe South Africans, in the cities and the suburbs, radiating true Rainbow Nation spirit.”
