Radio has featured large in Vic’s life in South Africa. In 1989 he worked for Radio Good Hope, and then moved to Johannesburg, where, in 1990 he began working freelance for Radio 702.

At the time, 702 was primarily a music station, and was broadcasting from Garankua in the “independent” homeland of Boputhatswana, although it also had a studio in Johannesburg. It was on 702 that Vic says he set a record for on-air broadcasting.
