DA suspends newly-appointed MP Renaldo Gouws

JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance (DA) has confirmed the suspension of newly appointed member of Parliament, Renaldo Gouws. 

Earlier this week, a 2009 video of Gouws going on a radical rant about how reverse apartheid was discriminating against white people went viral. 

Another video then emerged, where Gouws refers to black South Africans in derogatory terms. 

"Kill the f***ing k*****s, kill all the f***ing n*****s. That’s all I've got to say, kill all the f***ing k*****s, kill all the  f***ing n*****s," he said in 2010.

Gouws previously served as a ward councillor in Nelson Mandela Bay. 

In a short statement released by the DA on Thursday morning, the party said it had established the second video was not 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."
