Gouws said he would be exploring all legal and ethical options available to challenge the decision and clear his name.
Gouws took to X 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.
“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,” Aucamp said. “It is disheartening to see a decision like this, especially one that I believe fails to reflect the full context of my actions and my dedication to my role as a public representative. It's also disheartening that something I said 15 years ago, and completely taken out of context, is held against me as if it was said over the last year,” Gouws said.
