The Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) extends its sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of late veteran journalist , Paddy Harper.
Our condolences also extend to the Mail and Guardian and his fellow colleagues in the industry.
According to reports, Harper passed away yesterday morning at his home in Durban.
Not only a loss to those closest to him but to the media community and the public at large. His contribution to democracy in which he played a significant role in ensuring that people of this province are well informed, will be felt across the board.
Harper will also be remembered for his non-partisan and investigative journalistic career.
We pray that family and friends find strength and healing during this difficult time.
