DA Terminates Renaldo Gouws’ Membership

By

The DA has confirmed that the party’s Federal Executive has unanimously resolved to terminate Mr Renaldo Gouws’ membership. Mr Gouws has been formally informed of this decision. He therefore forfeits his DA seat in Parliament.

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.

The DA remains committed to upholding its values of accountability, non-racialism, and respect for all South Africans.

Gouws is currently under investigation by the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) for allegedly making racist statements. This investigation played a significant role in the party’s decision to sever ties with him.
