The Democratic Alliance (DA), South Africa’s second-largest political party, has recently elected Cape Town’s Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis, as its new leader. This significant event occurred at the DA’s federal congress held in Johannesburg on Sunday.
About Geordin Hill-Lewis
At just 39 years old, Hill-Lewis is viewed as a fresh and dynamic leader with a vision to transform the political landscape in South Africa. With his experience as Mayor of Cape Town, one of the country’s major cities, he brings valuable leadership skills that are expected to drive meaningful change within the DA and beyond.

- Expanding the DA’s influence across the country
- Gaining significant ground in the upcoming local elections
- Presenting a strong alternative to the ANC’s long-standing dominance
