George Mazarakis is weighing in, as is the rest of South Africa's shocked TV industry, following the unexpected death of the beloved and fearless cameraman Dudley Saunders on Tuesday in a freak accident while filming a story for the British production company Arrow Media.
"We have lost one of our greatest talents," says George Mazarakis.
"Dudley was a key member of the Carte Blanche family and a true gentleman and consummate professional."
"His work ethic set high standards for all those lucky enough to work with him and his artistry created images that moved and inspired his audiences. It was a delight and a privilege to have known and worked with this awesome man among men! We will miss him dearly," says George Mazarakis.
