2 hrs agoAt a highly charged federal congress in Midrand, over 2,000 delegates gathered not just to shape the future of South Africa’s Democratic Alliance (DA), but to honour the man who helped redefine it—John Steenhuisen. As he steps down, tributes poured in, painting a picture of a leader who took the party from uncertainty to renewed relevance.
Steenhuisen’s tenure wasn’t without challenges, but supporters credit him with stabilizing a party once seen as fading. His leadership pushed the DA into the heart of national politics, even playing a role in coalition governance—something once considered unlikely.
Speakers at the congress emphasized not just his political achievements, but his resilience. DA MP Dean Macpherson described his leadership as transformative, highlighting how he rebuilt confidence within party ranks.
In his farewell message, Steenhuisen struck a reflective yet hopeful tone, noting that South Africa stands at a critical moment where real change feels possible. He framed the DA as a “generation that changed history,” urging members to carry that momentum forward.
As the party prepares to elect new leadership, his departure signals more than the end of an era—it marks the beginning of a new chapter, one that will test whether his legacy can translate into lasting political impact.
