Cape Town - Tim Harris, dubbed “the sexiest man in politics”, is up for grabs - but for one evening only, and all in the name of charity.

Iris House will auction a “date” with Harris, who heads the City of Cape Town’s investment directorate, at a fundraiser ball on August 23.

The winner won’t get to take Harris home, but she (or he) will be able to sit next to the man who sent social media into a frenzy last year.

And there’s a catch: his wife, Cara Louise, will be there to keep an eye on things.

Despite Harris’s ardent following, the 34-year-old is coy about his appeal. Regardless, his penetrating blue eyes and striking looks did wonders for the DA’s economic policy when Harris was the party’s spokesman on finance in Parliament. And it was a cunning move by the City of Cape Town to make the hunky politician the frontman for its economic growth and investment drive.

Harris could not be reached for comment on Wednesday about his new role as a poster boy for Iris House.

To stand a chance of being Harris’s date, donate R100 via www.iris-house.org and say why you should be at the side of the DA’s sexiest man for the night.

Iris House provides free and professional care for children with special needs and life-limiting conditions in their homes and at their hospice - the only one for children in the country.
