The highly respected economist Mike Schüssler died at the age of 60 after a battle with cancer.
He was often the go-to man for many media houses, including AlgoaFM, seeking comments on economic matters.
Schüssler established the independent economic advisory company Economists.co.za in 2005.
The company issued a statement on Tuesday expressing its immense sadness at Schussler's death.
"Mike won the South African Economist of the year competition twice, in 2005 and 2007, one of only three economists to have achieved this. His passion for the economy, and his insightful analysis of current economic affairs, often with an unconventional angle (and sometimes controversial), will be greatly missed by his clients, his peers and the broader society, who had the privilege to read and hear his views in the media on a regular basis," read the statement.
