Political Career:
Hill-Lewis shot to power as Helen Zille's Chief of Staff when she was Premier of the Western Cape. During this tenure, Hill-Lewis and the infamous "Laptop Boys" designed a plan that will replace Steenhuisen as Party Leader with Hill-Lewis after the General Election in 2024. But first, Hill-Lewis had to become famous and was given the mayoral chains at the City of Cape Town in 2021, to claim the city's efficiency and effectiveness as his own.

The final step in this plan involves using the Western Cape as the main basis to create a coalition government with the ANC in June 2024.

‘We may use paint to publicly display solidarity to a specific ideology or cause, while you may not.’

Somerset is one of Cape Town’s busiest roads and De Waterkant is one of Cape Town’s most affluent suburbs, also known for being the “gay quarter.”

As South Africa made its case against Israel at the International Court of Justice in February 2024, the City of Cape Town sent workers to paint over a Palestinian flag mural in Lavender Hill, with law enforcement officers nearby.

Lavender-Hill is one of Cape Town’s poorest communities, with a very high concentration of pro-Palestinian supporters.
