The Democratic Alliance's new leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis, is working to broaden the party's appeal beyond its traditional white base in South Africa.
Geordin Hill-Lewis, the newly elected leader of South Africa's Democratic Alliance (DA) party, is on a mission to expand the party's support base and shed its perception as being too white-centric. At just 34 years old, Hill-Lewis represents a new generation of political leadership in the country, and he's determined to make the DA more representative of South Africa's diverse population.
The DA has long been viewed as the party of choice for white South Africans, a legacy that Hill-Lewis acknowledges must be addressed.
