From Johannesburg, he gained fame as a talk show host on Talk Radio 702 and 567 Cape Talk. He produced religious TV, an HIV/AIDS series, and an award-winning child soldiers documentary. In 2007, he led Vodacom’s retail radio project, and in 2018, won a Liberty Radio Award. In September 2024, Tom’s viral Facebook Live videos from Helen Joseph Hospital, where he faced pneumonia and pleural effusion, criticized neglect and poor conditions, sparking a healthcare debate. A crowdfunding campaign raised over R300,000 for surgery, moving him to Morningside Clinic. He thanked supporters, including Gayton McKenzie.
