Fallen former DA member Renaldo Gouws has joined forces with the Freedom Front Plus (FF+).

Gouws said after careful consideration, he found in the FF+ a party that "truly aligns with my core values and vision for our nation".

"This decision wasn't made lightly", he wrote on his X account.

On Tuesday, FF+ leader Dr Corne Mulder welcomed Gouws as a member of the party and said he looked forward to working with Gouws.

"Popular social media personality and former DA member of parliament has decided to throw his weight behind the FF+. Gouws, an industrial psychologist with a significant following on platforms such as YouTube, has extensive political experience and a genuine passion for community values," he said.
