The Democratic Alliance (DA) has suspended its newly sworn-in Member of Parliament, Renaldo Gouws, after a 2012 video clip resurfaced in which he can be heard using racist hate speech, specifically saying 'Kill all the k****rs.' The suspension was announced on Thursday. The South African Human Rights Commission is taking legal action against Gouws, dragging him to the Equality Court. The DA's spokesperson, Richard Newton, has confirmed the suspension and emphasized the party's zero-tolerance policy towards racism.
