DA Suspends MP Renaldo Gouws Over 2012 Video Containing Racial Slurs
Jun 20, 2024, 05:11 AM
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has suspended its Member of Parliament (MP), Renaldo Gouws, following the resurfacing of a controversial video from 2012. In the video, Gouws can be heard using offensive racial slurs and making incendiary remarks, including a call to 'kill all the k****rs.' The video, which surfaced 15 years after Gouws' initial comments on 'reverse apartheid,' has sparked significant backlash, with some calling for Gouws to lose his seat. Despite initial support from the DA, the party's federal executive decided to suspend Gouws after confirming the video's authenticity. The incident has prompted strong reactions within the party, with Helen Zille indicating that Gouws' political career could be over if the allegations are true.
