A quiet, emotional tribute marked what would have been Darren Scott's 62nd birthday, as his former wife, Sarah-Kate Accetta, shared a deeply personal message reflecting on life, loss and a legacy that still echoes through their family.
Posting on Facebook on Monday, 26 January, Accetta opened a window into how the family continues to honour the late radio icon months after his death in May 2025, following a long and public battle with cancer. Rather than a grand gesture, the day was marked by a simple ritual, baking Scott's favourite cake, fondly known in their home as the strawberry hamburger.
In her message, Accetta described Scott as a rare presence in South African media, someone whose talent stretched effortlessly across radio, television, sport, news and music. She wrote that even among the country's most respected broadcasters, Scott stood apart, both professionally and personally.
