Isaac Lewis (1849–1925) was a Russian-born South African industrialist. He was the cousin and partner of Sammy Marks.[1] He arrived in South Africa in 1870 and became a partner in the company, Lewis & Marks. It became one of the largest property and industrial companies in Southern Africa. He was less well known to the public than Marks.[2]
In the late 1890s Lewis purchased grounds from the company Anglo American in Vereeniging and built his own residence, which is now known as the Riviera On Vaal.[3][4] Lewis street in Vereeniging is named after him.
