Crowdfunding platform BackaBuddy has removed a campaign raising funds to support suspended DA MP Renaldo Gouws.

The campaign, spearheaded by Matthew Dickson, was launched this week to help Gouws fight what Dickson described as discrimination against the suspended DA.

Dickson reacted to Gouws’ suspension from the district attorney’s office after a video surfaced in which he was heard uttering racial slurs and calling for the slaughter of Black people.
