He became the youngest mayor of Cape Town in 1973 at the age of 41, with a conspicuous interest in the arts and celebrated for his defence of the less privileged members of the Cape community. In this time he wrote a book called Meet The People (1975).
He was married to Toby Fine, also a distinguished ballet dancer and theatre supporter.
