Warning to DA over retaining questionable characters
DA leader and Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen with Roman Cabanac who he appointed as his ministry’s Chief of Staff. Social MediaTHE FUTURE of the DA’s public support could hinge on how it deals with two men accused of making racist public statements.
A few days ago he posted a message on X saying that while he had much to say on the matter, his legal counsel had advised him not to comment. Those legal processes are the DA’s internal investigation and disciplinary process, while the other refers to the South African Human Right Commission which took his matter to the Equality Court.“In the video, Mr Gouws allegedly calls for the killing of Black people using extremely offensive and derogatory language.
Cabanac has a YouTube channel called Morning Shot which he describes on his LinkedIn profile as “With a huge fan base of over 50 000 subscribers and 15 million views, on Youtube, I specialise in spicing up everyday tales, one short video at a time”.was unable to reach Cabanac or the Agriculture Department for comment, he recently took to X to say: “The opportunity to work for the government was not in my future at all. When it was offered, I accepted without hesitation.
“And John should be told that he’s undermining his own government. If the government fails, he will be accused as one of the designers of the failure. Now, for a government of unity to succeed there has to be trust and respect for one another,” said Meshoe. Meanwhile, advocacy group, the Free Market Foundation, also questioned the position taken by the DA, but focused on how it had shunned its members and support base by joining the GNU.
