RIP COUNCILLOR LINDA LEWIS

IT WAS a great shock to hear of the passing of ex-councillor Linda Lewis. She passed away on April 11 after battling with Alzheimer’s for the past 12 years.

Lewis, who was known as the “Dame of the South”, was a city councillor for many years and singer Patricia Lewis’s mother. She served as a DA councillor from 2000 to 2006 under my leadership.

She had a lot of institutional knowledge and was always ready to assist her colleagues. She leaves a great legacy.

Lewis had a great work ethic and always ensured that she had fun at the same time. Her smile and laughter were infectious, lighting up a room whenever she walked in.

You will be missed and never forgotten. May you rest in peace. | Manny
