With great pride, the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Western Cape congratulates the newly elected Federal Leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis.

Elected at the largest Congress in the party’s history, this marks a significant moment not only for the party but for South African politics.

His four pillars – showing how we govern, connecting deeply with residents, being a strong partner in national government and leading with belief – are fully backed by the DA Western Cape.

This confidence is firmly rooted in his proven track record of governance excellence as the Mayor of City of Cape Town.

His record includes:

• Maintaining South Africa’s best-run metro, with clean and accountable governance
• Driving record infrastructure investment in roads, water, sanitation, and energy
• Delivering reliable basic services
• Advancing pro-poor spending and a growth-focused local economy

The election of the Federal Leader shows that the DA is ready to take Cape Town’s success to the rest of South Africa.

The DA in the Western Cape takes pride in creating a foundation of good governance that proves what can be achieved with strong leaders.

We fully support his leadership and are ready to help take South Africa forward by strengthening connections with people and providing more services for all South Africans.
