Hill-Lewis defeated Sedibeng caucus leader Sibusiso Dyonase in a contest that, while closely watched, ultimately confirmed his status as the frontrunner to succeed former leader John Steenhuisen.

“It is mission accomplished,” he said. “We are no longer a party of opposition. We are a party in government, shaping the destiny of South Africa.”
Hill-Lewis inherited a party balancing opportunity and pressure—tasked with proving it can govern effectively while maintaining its reformist edge.
The party believes the Hill-Lewis is the best candidate to take over.
