Staff Reporter VETERAN broadcaster and journalist Frikkie Wallis has died at the age of 74, bringing to a close a radio career spanning more than four decades in Namibia and South Africa, during which he became known as an announcer, newsman, author and storyteller. Wallis passed away on Sunday evening at Blaauwberg Netcare Hospital in Cape Town. He would have celebrated his 75th birthday on 25 June. Tributes have poured in for the seasoned broadcaster, who made a significant contribution to radio broadcasting through his work in music, news and current affairs programming. After beginning his broadcasting career in South Africa, Wallis continued his work with the former South West African Broadcasting Corporation (SWAUK) in Windhoek, where he earned a reputation for his versatility behind the microphone. Together with his wife, Maria, he later relocated to Johannesburg, where they remained involved in broadcasting with the South African Broadcasting Corporation. Following his return to Namibia, Wallis settled in Swakopmund and compiled news for Channel 7. He also became widely known for his popular column, Day That Was, which reflected his passion for history and storytelling and attracted a loyal readership. Even after relocating to the Western Cape, Wallis continued writing and sharing his knowledge of broadcasting and history with audiences. Throughout his career, he received numerous accolades, including two South African Academy for Science and Arts radio awards for audio imaging. He was also the author of the book Nuusdagboek: feite en flaters oor 1 000 jaar (News Diary: Facts and Blunders Over 1,000 Years). Colleagues and listeners have remembered Wallis as a dedicated broadcaster whose voice, stories and historical insights left a lasting mark on the media landscape of both Namibia and South Africa. He is survived by his wife, Maria, their children and extended family. Photo: Contributed The post Radio legend Frikkie Wallis passes away appeared first on Informanté.
