Former member of the Democratic Alliance (DA), Renaldo Gouws has broken his silence after his termination from the party was announced on Friday.
Gouws took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm that he had been informed of the party's decision, which meant he would no longer be holding his seat in Parliament under the DA.
Mr Gouws has been formally informed of this decision. He therefore forfeits his Democratic Alliance seat in Parliament, Willie Aucamp, the national spokesperson for the DA said.
This comes after a thorough investigation was conducted by the DAs Federal Legal Commission (FLC) into the allegations against Gouws.
The FLC found Mr Gouws guilty of contravening several sections of the DAs constitution. The DA remains committed to upholding its values of accountability, non-racialism, and respect for all South Africans, Aucamp said.
