Award-winning journalist, David Beresford, (Hervey 1960 – 1965), passed away in Johannesburg on 22nd April after a long illness (Parkinson’s Disease. He was known and admired by his peers for three things: his dedication to his craft, a complicated personal life, and his capacity to balance the two with apparent equanimity. Those who knew him in his later years would not be surprised to know that his time on campus was devoted to having a good time, but probably did not know that he was an enthusiastic rugby and cricket player — and once ran the Comrades’ Marathon. Our condolences go to his family and those who knew him well.
