# South African veteran radio broadcaster Darren Scott has passed away. He had been battling melanoma, an aggressive kind of skin cancer, for years. Scott has spent more than four decades behind the mic, informing and entertaining South Africans. He has worked at some of the country’s most recognisable radio stations, including Radio Bop, 5FM, Jacaranda, East Coast Radio, and eventually landed at Hot 102.7FM. He marked 40 years in radio last year and was inducted into the Radio Awards Hall of Fame.
