EFF labels MP a 'supremacist' due to blackface protest

In a statement this weekend, the Red Berets claimed the ANC was "actively empowering white supremacy" by working alongside the DA in the formation of the government of national unity.

This follows hot on the heels of the party's suspension of Renaldo Gouws last Thursday, for his racist rant as a student in an old YouTube video.

Cameron was recorded in blackface at an AfriForum protest outside the department of higher education and training head office in Pretoria. The civil rights organisation was claiming the University of Pretoria's admissions policy eroded the rights of white South Africans.

The video and pictures resurfaced in 2022.
