A veteran journalist of more than 40 years who started her career in the golden age of newspapers.
To the recent conclusion of her editorship at a title she served and loved throughout her career, Val remained highly capable and passionate about the role of newspapers in society. She was a stickler for the abiding maxim of competitive journalism: get it right, get it first.
"I am feeling positive. After weeks of feeling so run-down, I am now having multiple tests and receiving excellent medical care. “I was shocked to learn of Val’s passing but this was so typical of her not to burden others with her problems but as always work in the service of others. Pretoria and the Pretoria News have lost a giant. I will remember her as a caring colleague and fellow editor and a great friend.”“It is going to take a very long time to absorb the fact that Val is no longer with us.
Val was one of South Africa’s top journalists and played a massive role in my career in public relations and how to work with media on building relationships.
