#FirstThingsFirst - Can a racist reform?

Loading player...
A petition has been established to urge the South African Parliament to reconsider the membership of Democratic Alliance (DA) councillor Renaldo Gouws, following the resurfacing of videos created in 2008 and 2009 showing racially charged comments by Gouws who is now a DA Member of Parliament (MP).

Those are the questions the team and listeners delved into during #FirstThingsFirst.
