The Democratic Alliance (DA) has suspended its newly-appointed MP, Renaldo Gouws, following the emergence of a video clip in which he uses extremely offensive racial slurs, including the k-word and n-word. The video, archived since 2012, features a younger Gouws making these derogatory comments.
In the video, Gouws can be heard saying: “Kill all the k****rs.” Initially thought to be a fake, the DA has now confirmed its authenticity. As a result, Gouws has been suspended pending an internal investigation.
The DA issued a statement regarding the situation: “The DA has established that the video, in which Renaldo Gouws uses execrable language, is in fact genuine and not a fake as initially suspected. The DA federal executive has therefore suspended Mr. Gouws with immediate effect while he faces disciplinary charges before the party’s federal legal commission.”
