Andy Todd writes - I am sad to report that Marius Botha died this year after a short battle with cancer. He was a really reserved guy at school but was one of the most insightful people I knew. Graham Lamont and I were good friends of his. He was a talented drummer and had an encyclopedic knowledge of music. He had a vast collection of rare and collectible music albums. He was a physically very strong guy with a relaxed attitude to life. He was also very spiritual and was a very influential leader in his church. It is always a shock to hear of a friend passing.
