EFF Statement On Racists Utterances By A DA MP Renaldo Gouws
Racists like Gouws have found a political sanctuary in the DA. In the DA, they see themselves and the views they hold finding expression at the highest level of leadership and policy making, and in the DA, they have found a vessel through which their bigoted views are legitimized.
And just as racist Gouws has found a political sanctuary in the DA, so has the African National Congress (ANC) led by Cyril Ramaphosa. While the EFF supports the nationwide calls for Gouws to be removed as a Member of Parliament, we are aware that his removal will not dent the DA’s quest to defend the gains of colonialism and apartheid. A much bigger course is the removal of the DA, a prime representative of racists, from being a political player in this country. By extension, a more noble call is for the removal of the ANC from political power, because it is the ANC that gives these racists a veil of legitimacy.
The EFF will be submitting a formal complaint to the Speaker of the National Assembly to look into the ethical conduct of the said racist member of Parliament.
