CAPE
Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis’s rise to the top of the Democratic Alliance now appears all but inevitable, with political analysts saying his ascent has effectively been sealed following glowing public praise from DA federal council chairperson Helen Zille.Zille’s comments at the weekend, in which she described Hill-Lewis as capable, intelligent and ethical, have reinforced perceptions that he is the party’s preferred successor ahead of the DAs April elective conference.
Political analyst Professor Bheki Mngomezulu said the DAs leadership outcomes are ultimately shaped by Zilles influence, describing Hill-Lewis’s anticipated victory as a foregone conclusion.
“Its a done deal. Helen Zille decides who is in and who is out,” Mngomezulu said.
