Pilgrim, Mark (20 September 1969 – 5 March 2023) was a South African media figure who presented a variety of radio and television programs, most notably as a DJ on 5FM, Eastrand-oos Rand stereo, 94.7 Highveld Stereo, 94.5 Kfm, Hot919, and Hot102.7fm. He hosted both seasons of Big Brother South Africa, the inaugural season of Big Brother Africa, and the MNET game show Power of 10 on television.
Pilgrim stated his illness has returned at the start of 2022.
In the 1980s, he began his radio career on university radio. In Johannesburg, he also worked for 5FM and 94.7 Highveld Stereo.
He resigned from radio at the end of June 2014 but returned some months later on the all-new Hot 91.9FM in Johannesburg, originally just performing a Saturday morning program from 9 am-noon, but subsequently returning to radio full time and doing Monday through Friday 9 am-noon.
