According to News24, the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) is taking legal action against suspended Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Renaldo Gouws after an old video of him using racial slurs resurfaced. Following public complaints, the SAHRC concluded that Gouws’ comments constituted hate speech and harassment under the Equality Act. The DA confirmed Gouws’ suspension and an internal investigation is underway. Gouws has apologized for previous racist remarks made in a 2009 video. His case has been referred to the DA’s Federal Legal Commission for a disciplinary hearing.
