The Democratic Alliance (DA) said on Friday that MP Renaldo Gouws is no longer a member of the party following a decision taken by the Federal Executive.

DA national spokesperson Willie Aucamp said the party’s Federal Legal Commission undertook an investigation following reports of alleged racial utterances aired in Gouws’ online media posts.

The commission said it had found Gouws guilty of contravening the party’s constitution.

The party said the decision to terminate Gouws’ membership was unanimous. He loses his Parliamentary seat, as a result.

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