The Opposition Leader has extended condolences to the family of Helen Bhagwansingh. In a statement she said:
“In my eyes, Helen Bhagwansingh was beyond monumental; she was a genius. She was a genius for all her accomplishments in testing situations where there were no forerunners; male or female. Her ingenuity shone through her acumen at business – especially in an area dominated by men. Her ingenuity shone through in her foresight, leadership, and philanthropy in good times and bad.”
