The DA says it is aware of a petition seeking the removal of MP Renaldo Gouws.

The Democratic Alliance says it is aware of a petition seeking the removal of newly sworn-in member of parliament Renaldo Gouws.and acknowledged the petition proposing his removal in the National Assembly.

The video said to have been recorded in 2009, shows Gouws making charged comments against the African National Congress government, sparking allegations of racism. The petition for Gouws’ removal has garnered almost 30 000 signatures.The party also noted that Gouws took the video down from social media over a decade ago and apologized for the video and its content in 2013.

A snippet of a video that I posted 16 years ago when I was young and still a student has been recycled and posted on social media over the last few days. I addressed this snippet in 2016 and again in 2020 when approached by the media when it was posted on social…Even though the term “racist” has lost all meaning in this country I firmly believe that those who falsely accuse others of “racism” or being “racist”, should face a heavy fine or at least some consequences for damaging the reputation of those they falsely accuse.I don’t think they must remove Renaldo Gouws cos we need daily reminders of just how vile and racist the DA actually is.
