DA Gauteng leader and member of parliament, Solly Msimanga said Harman’s commitment to excellence is evident in her history as a successful entrepreneur.
“In addition to being a committed businesswoman, she has always been an active member of her community whilst bolstering those around her as a TEDx speaker,” Msimanga said of the author and former chairperson of the Kyalami AH Ext1 Residents Association, Ward 94 committee member for health, and vice chairperson for Ward 94’s DA branch.
“The DA is especially happy with her victory in this election, as residents deserve both an alternative to the failing government and a representative that will fight for them in the City of Gold. Lucinda strives to be exactly that person.”
