De Wet is the deputy editor of The Daily Maverick.

Not having the imagination to even try anything other than journalism (or any medium other than words), he has spent all his adult life writing about what everybody else is doing. He has written about technology and telecommunications, business, politics, the property market, unusual medical conditions and, for a brief interlude, movies.

He has participated in the closing-down of one daily newspaper and two magazines, but implausibly claims that none of it was his fault.
