2oceansvibe Radio has the pleasure of hosting the DA’s Shadow Minister of Trade and Industry in the Parliamentary Assembly.

Check out a little of Tim’s background from the omniscient Wiki:

He currently serves on the Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry and previously served on the Select Committee on Finance, where he held the positions of Party Whip and Provincial Whip in the Council. He is also the party’s International Liaison.^[1] In November 2009 he told Leader World magazine:

[I]n the little bit I’ve travelled I’ve seen that this country is one where you can make a huge difference quite easily. We have, as it’s often said, first world institutions, a great deal of first world infrastructure, and [a] first world press… [T]he potential for growth is massive – much more so than any developed market.[4]

”

On November 25, 2009, Harris brought to public attention a reply to a Democratic Alliance parliamentary question from Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan, which showed that more than R240-billion had been spent bailing out state owned entities between 2006 and 2009 by the ANC government.^[5] He pointed out that the sum was sufficient “to build at least four large coal-fired power stations”.^[6]

Tim has a few thoroughly interesting adventure stories up his sleeve. In late 2007 and early 2008 he travelled with two friends up Africa’s west coast on a the first surf trip between Cape Town and London by the west coast route – garnering international attention in the process.

Catch him live on the 2oceansvibe Jack Friday show with Seth Rotherham and Bruce Good between 08h00 and 12h00.
