DA terminates Renaldo Gouws' membership following FedEx decision

The Democratic Alliance (DA) can confirm that the party’s Federal Executive has unanimously resolved to terminate Mr Renaldo Gouws’ membership. Mr Gouws has been formally informed of this decision. He therefore forfeits his Democratic Alliance 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.
