Note: for now, he retains his seat as a Member of Parliament, pending the outcome of a party disciplinary process. Constitutionally, elected MPs can only be removed from office under limited circumstances - in this case, if their party membership is terminated.

Helen Zille told News24 🇿🇦 that Ngamla Gouws 🇿🇦
1) 'unequivocally denied' making the video that shows him repeatedly saying 'kill the f***ing k****rs' and
2) had claimed the video was fake.
He's a violence-advocating racist who, when confronted, lied to portray himself as a victim

When you're accused of racism, it's always good to have the racists defend you...

#Gouws
The South African Human Rights Commission will today institute proceedings at the Equality Court in Gqeberha against Mr Renaldo Gouws, a Member of Parliament, for the alleged racial utterances relating to online media posts.

iT AcTUaLlY mEaNS nOnBeLiEVeR 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

I'm gonna quote Delroy Lindo:

'then say it.'
Go on, then. Let's hear it.

Following so much public pressure and their federal leader defending Gouws of course

The DA could have saved itself a great deal of embarrassment if they'd heeded 10 years of warnings, instead of blocking the messengers. They are culpable in this matter and need to own their role in his behaviour. Disgraceful...

You are the company you keep. I wonder which of the racial slurs Bronaldo used Ian considers “truth”?

Notice how the DA says Renaldo used
“execrable language”.
This man called for the killing of F# N*and F#* K*#. He used the N word and the K word. And you describe his language as “execrable”?which means extremely bad or unpleasant.THIS IS RACISM. Call it what it is.

Today is hopefully the day where Democratic Alliance will confirm if Renaldo's detractors did manage to time-travel back to 2012 with modern deepfake technology to unjustly smear the man.

#knowYourKiffless is ok with it now

Truth is this video from 14yrs ago is consistent with Ngamla Gouws 🇿🇦 social media conduct even after he tried to bury it.
Democratic Alliance was asked many many times to act on his social media content. They never did. Even now they tried “deep fake” nonsense before it was unsustainable.

Here’s a clue: there are approximately zero contexts in which the use of racial slurs is acceptable or justified. Hope that helps.

There is no moral equivalence between a formerly oppressed person singing a resistance song, after centuries of historical oppression, and a racist rant by an entitled apartheid beneficiary. None whatsoever.

he realised he cannot get away with literally saying slurs so started being more subtle and says things in a way where he can maintain deniability but the audience he is speaking to knows exactly what he means
