Rest in Peace Roi Simpson, news editor of Heart FM. Dear friend, our MC at the Cape Town Cycle Tour Expo and a fine human being.
Roi transformed the traditional radio news bulletin into an analytical master piece which had academics, politicians and news junkies listening to every word. A genius at reading between the lines and asking the real questions.
Our condolences to his family and young children. Cape Town has lost a very wise soul and a wonderful man. MHDSRIP
