Weeks after being promoted to parliament, Renaldo Gouws has been sent into the political wilderness after his DA membership was terminated.

National spokesperson Willie Aucamp said on Friday that subsequently Gouws also forfeited his 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 has been the subject of an internal inquiry after a video he made in 2009 talking about “reverse apartheid” was posted on social media earlier this year.

A second short video surfaced shortly thereafter, showing Gouws making threatening and racist remarks, using the k-word repeatedly.

“So there's a couple of things I want to say.

“Kill the f*****g k*****s. Kill all the f*****g n****s. That's all I got to f*****g say.” he said in the 15-second video.

Gouws declined to comment on Friday afternoon regarding his termination by the party.
