Can Geordin Hill-Lewis broaden the appeal of South Africa's Democratic Alliance?

Geordin Hill-Lewis has been elected as the new leader of South Africa's Democratic Alliance (DA) and faces the challenge of broadening the party's appeal beyond its predominantly white support. He acknowledged the need to gain the trust of the 80% black population, stating that this would be a main focus. The new DA leadership is more diverse, with black politicians like Solly Msimanga in key positions, although female representation remains low.
