At 34 years old, Hill-Lewis is Cape Town’s youngest mayor since 1994. Up until now, he has been serving as the DA’s finance spokesperson, a post he held since June 2019, after current provincial Finance and Economic Opportunities MEC David Maynier moved to the provincial legislature.
First appointed to the National Assembly in August 2011, Hill-Lewis attended Edgemead High School, and holds a BCom and an honours degree in politics, philosophy and economics, from the University of Cape Town.Speaking to reporters at the provincial results and operations centre in Century City, Hill-Lewis said: “I feel very excited.
“There are two weeks to go before the inauguration and the council gets started, so there’s time to do some preparation and time to catch up on sleep. There’s time to really focus on our priorities.He said his first priority would be to reduce the City’s dependence on Eskom. “When I launched my campaign to be elected as Cape Town’s next mayor, over two months ago, I announced right up front that I am committed to ending load shedding in Cape Town over time,” said Hill-Lewis.
Speaking of his forthcoming role, Hill-Lewis said: “Our purpose in government is simple: to improve the living conditions of the poorest residents, to roll back poverty, to spread opportunity, to grow the economy, to deliver excellent basic services, to inspire optimism, and to be an example to the country.”
