Ronell Swartbooi
I've connected with Stuart in my PR capacity and I always appreciate his honest editorial feedback. He is open to providing constructive feedback despite his busy schedule. From where I sit, that is a great quality as a journalist and editor.

I have known Stuart for 5 years now, having met in our Journalism 1 tutorial at a Rhodes student in 2006. He is a loyal, trustworthy friend, as well as a supportive mentor and leader. His knowledge of music news, and general knowledge, is unsurpassed. He made working for the Live Music Society an absolute pleasure.
