Johannesburg – The Democratic Alliance (DA) has announced that the party’s Federal Executive has unanimously resolved to terminate Renaldo Gouws’ membership over his racist social media posts.
“Mr. Gouws has been formally informed of this decision. He therefore forfeits his Democratic Alliance seat in Parliament,” said DA National Spokesperson Willie Aucamp in a terse statement on Friday, (13 September 2024).
“This decision follows a thorough investigation conducted by the DA’s Federal Legal Commission (FLC) into the allegations against Mr. Gouws.
“The FLC found Mr. Gouws guilty of contravening several sections of the DA’s constitution.”
