    a defining moment for South African politics, newly elected Democratic Alliance (DA) Federal Leader Geordin Hill-Lewis used his inaugural speech not only to outline his vision but to pay tribute to the leaders who shaped the party’s journey. Speaking at the DA Federal Congress in Midrand, he acknowledged the foundational roles played by Tony Leon and Helen Zille in transforming the DA into a formidable political force.

    Hill-Lewis highlighted how Leon turned a marginal party with just 1.7% of the vote into a credible opposition, emphasizing the importance of democratic balance. He also praised Zille for evolving the party from opposition into a governing force, demonstrating that effective leadership could deliver real results in cities and communities.

    Elected after a competitive race, Hill-Lewis expressed deep gratitude to party delegates, pledging to lead with humility and a strong sense of duty. He emphasized his ambition to grow the DA into the largest political party in the country, focusing on unity, service delivery, and inclusive governance.

    His message signals both continuity and renewal—honouring the past while setting a bold course for the future. As he takes the helm, Hill-Lewis faces the challenge of expanding the party’s reach and proving that it can lead South Africa toward a more prosperous and united future.
