At 39 years old, Hill-Lewis aims to strengthen the DA as it prepares for the 2029 national elections. The party seeks to expand its voter base by addressing key challenges faced by South Africans and positioning itself as a strong alternative to the ruling African National Congress (ANC).
Key focus areas of Hill-Lewis’s leadership include:
- Unemployment
