Ms Gill was renowned for her sharp tongue and pen with which she reviewed South African events, and the dress and behaviour of local celebrities and politicians. Having started at The Sunday Times back in the 1970s as an editorial secretary, Ms Gill worked for the newspaper for over 30 years.
Among the many tributes that have streamed in since news of her passing was made public were the following:
Sunday Times editor Ray Hartley: "RIP Gwen Gill from all at the Sunday Times. They don''t make them like they used to."
Friend and talk show host Jenny Crwys-Williams: "I think that in her time she was a complete legend."
City Press editor Ferial Haffajee: "A legend to the end. We lay down our pens today as the grande dame rests."
Portfolio adds our condolences to those already sent, to Gwen Gill''s family and friends.
