For what it's worth I think the issue here is a financial one, caused by poor governance, greed, and corruption. If it is true that the Western Cape contributes R 185 billion in taxes and is only allocated 25% of that back in order to run the province then we have really lost before we've even started. The problem is probably the same in the other provinces. Nothing will change until the politics change. As well as the DA has done in running the Western Cape they will always be hamstrung financially. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Have you, in your capacity, made an attempt to educate people on how taxes fund government programmes? The majority of ANC supporters, especially in the rural areas don't know. They think that the money comes from the pockets of the ANC. Also, market the party you want to win come 2024. The EFF is gaining on the DA because it's visible on the ground. It goes to the small towns and villages that the DA and other non-white parties do/will not. People are tired of the ANC and will take just about anything that will position itself as the opposition. Have the DA (the most palatable "non-black" party) make itself known in NC, EC, NW and FS
@@donaldgray2128 Well said,though I'm not in favor of Cape Independence,I mean just imagine explicitly looking for black managers for a business during hiring and avoid white applicants then call it transformation, so much for democracy.
In the Western Cape we are ready for progression, this current government is keeping us behind and outside investments away. We can't keep sending our kids abroad to seek better opportunities thus we have to start building from home. If the rest of the country is happy with a failing government and failing economy then they should not be opposed to us seeking something different and better. We in the Cape are ready to work. Free the Cape.
As a Namibian,i have to applaud this action you guys are taking. People don't seem to want better lives for themselves. Imagine having to go abroad to look for better life opportunities when your land is full of riches and yet the ones in charge are selling it to the foreigners and leaving the citizens more empoverished as they make these nasty deals with these greedy ass foreign countries 😢

@Christopher Walker , everyone is fed up with ANC, it will lose power gradually, Gauteng will become the next Province after Western Cape to be led by another Party, not ANC. Now , it's time for change.

Cape Independence is a dream BUT it's an achievable one. I live in the Western Cape and I fully support Cape Independence. The ANC has destroyed South Africa with their corruption, racist policies dividing people and inability to govern. Their is NO political solution that is going to fix this issue because the people of the Cape reject ANC rule but those outside the Cape keep the ANC in power despite the trajectory the country is going. Why? It's really simple, they refuse to hold them to account and are actually okay with the current state of affairs so why cant the People of The Cape cut our ties, seek a better government which will give us 💯 control over our future? The Cape will secede and I prefer it's done peacefully but if the ANC and their supporters choose to prevent us, I'm prepared to defend our right to a free and Independent Cape

But that's the thing, through racial propaganda and BEE they keep the people divided and fighting eachother.

As long as we stop this racist politics. There's also a lot of expense involved to get the country up and running. South Africa won't let go of certain things easily. We also need to build at least two more big cities. Cape Town won't be able to handle the strain. Another issue is that many people will flock to the WC when they hear it is now independent.

Wrong, Africa has always been divided due to corrupt bigoted African governments who usually give in to power and money, like the ANC and EFF. Their radical ways is not how you go about making a country work let alone great. Remember they merely occupy a country, they never built one from the ground up like the Afrikaners did. So they have no clue how to go about governing. Besides, African people on the outside of South Africa do not share your beliefs of a United Africa and history also shows that African tribes all over fough against eachother for land and whatever els was considered valued. Try to self educate rather than listen to gossip or obvious propaganda from people like EFF. ANC included but more so EFF. Remember, much of the land to the South was uninhabited, thus the Boers settled there, some of the land in other directions were inhabited by Khoisan, before the Bantu chased them out and nearly killed them all.

Alan (incorrectly) argues that if we allow the Western Cape to secede, there is nothing that will prevent a proliferation of breakaways ("what stops Hout Bay from seceding from the Western Cape"). That is exactly why Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1993) Article 1 states: ‘The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualities: 1. A permanent population (one could argue that Hout Bay has this, although they do not have unique 'culture' and/or predominant language that is different from the rest of the Western Cape, nor under threat by the rest of the Western Cape) 2. A defined territory (Hout Bay qualifies) 3. A government (if they were part of the new sovereign state, they'd even qualify for this, since the proposed Canton system of governing effectively means that they could be governing themselves) 4. Capacity to enter into relations with other states’ (this is where they'd have difficulty, since as a region, they'd have to prove that they could be economically viable). I accept that this is a simplification, so I'm happy to have an open discussion about where I might be wrong?

It’s clearly not the answer, because the rest of South Africa don't want the DA to try and save them. Even if every registered voter in the WC voted DA, we still couldn’t lift the ANC out of power.

Guys this needs to happen, I'm from Lesotho and if this happens, I'd probably move to Western Cape, as long as u make it business friendly, low tax rates, privatise all SOE's including eskom and has decreased amount of red tape.
Have you, in your capacity, made an attempt to educate people on how taxes fund government programmes? The majority of ANC supporters, especially in the rural areas don't know. They think that the money comes from the pockets of the ANC. Also, market the party you want to win come 2024. The EFF is gaining on the DA because it's visible on the ground. It goes to the small towns and villages that the DA and other non-white parties do/will not. People are tired of the ANC and will take just about anything that will position itself as the opposition.

I don't think so, this separation will be seen as a form apartheid. This is because it will seen as separation along racial lines coloured/white Vs blacks. Secondly, some parts of the Western Cape have actual value (agricultural & tourism), therefore, lossing out on those resources would be a heavy blow to RSA that it can't afford to loss (might use force retain as much as possible). Thirdly, state resources like electricity supply, water supply and transportion would be disband if worst comes worst. Lastly, what is the Western Cape biggest trading partners, would it prosperous in the short/medium term (10-20 years) if it is not allowed to trade with RSA and blacklisted by China?. What sort of trade deals will it have with other countries with an economy less than half the size of RSA?

I visited the Western Cape SA for the first time in 2020, got stuck under COVID lockdown - but I had a great time. Cape Town is amazing - the landscape, mountains and beaches the best I've ever seen in the world, I met so many nice people of all races, tribes. The Lyft drivers were mostly from Zimbabwe - very educated, hard working and just nice. The British and Dutch SA are really cool people - the women are as good looking as Swedes but not stuck up - great food, beer and wine. Obviously SA has lots of problems - the bloody electricity doesn't work and threats of riots and Rwanda, Zimbabwe style things are always "in the air". I wish Cape Town still had dependable, safe train transport as those Taxi Vans were terrorizing the roads. Best of luck to all the good people in the Western Cape. Maybe autonomy is more realistic than full independence. Why not invite the Russians in to build a safe, model nuclear power plant?
The leader whould be like white aparthied leader, they must be vicious to control the people. The Blacks are too nice. They must have military in all areas and totally control. Most of the one that push for independance is the whites.
Do you guys need a mechanic? Gauteng is choking me. Good luck guys. What I like is when you said: "not about race...) I love the thinking. Everyone across the world think only race. Let us show them we have a voice. Keep the peace
A bit surprising that the colour schemes of the flags are THE SAME AS THE APARTHEID FLAG. As usual coloured people fall for it just like they fell for the DA.

@Hugo Sr2123 well it's not a secret coloureds like following their masters.. you forget the idea of an independent Cape is a White man's dream they have been wanting it for years.
A federation of states can work for RSA. Each State i.e. Western Cape will manage themselves as other Privinces should. Smaller parts being part of the bigger whole. It works everywhere. Do it!

No way majority South Africans are to allow part of their country be taken away, this is an insult to African continent as a whole. Africa for Africans, from Cape to Cairo.
Alan Windes absolute spineless nature on this issue is quite telling. "What if Hout Bay wants to secede from Cape Town". What the hell. What kind of argument or rationale is that?
He made no valid points. However, there is an honest debate we can have post-independence regarding the border and which communities want to be part of the new Cape Republic. If there are some border towns in the WC that want to stay as part of SA then that should be allowed and if there are some border towns in SA that want to join the WC, then it should be allowed as well.
My advice to folks seeking this is to make sure your monetary system is set straight: go to full reserve banking/gold standard if possible. Also choose allies carefully, make sure you're on the good side of Chinese at minimum. Every household should practice using military grade weapons as a back up plan.
Truth is they will not get any independence. South Africa is on country. These people never came with land. They have no right to declare independence on our continent. This is Africa not Europe.
Well, good idea on paper but not practical, at least not short-term. For example, if capitec becomes the bank in the 'new state' will it deregister from South Africa? What about its customers residing in SA, will they be forced to move their accounts to 'local' banks? What about the reserve bank, military/defence and companies based in WC who'd wanna be part of SA instead? What about millions in WC who'd rather remain in SA? There are almost 6m people in western cape and this movement has less than 1m, right? ... A mere 16% cannot talk for the entire 6 m for sure, right? Am Just asking, that's all.

I thought as much! I always knew that at some point(especially with the development that has happened in South Africa ever since the 2010 world cup),the western cape would want to separate itself from the the rest of South Africa.Remember the western cape is a white people's province(and which oh,by the way are united),so why not shouldn't they have their own province if the development is.Remember,we black South African are just enjoying the lie and the deception that we've been putting on to ourselves for a long time since Mandela died(which was 2013).All these VWs,Audi's,BMWs,public services,innovations,banks is all something that we blacks in South Africa are gonna have to face not very long from now.Either we continue living the deception on ourselves,or accept the truth.Either we submit,or continue lying to ourselves which won't last long enough.

I do agree with Pieter Marais that we should never say never in politics. The position of Mr Winde does not surprise me; the DA is an offshoot of the PFP who have always advocated "one man one vote in a unitary state". Why anybody would still advocate this after witnessing what South Africa has become, astounds me. The bet thing for the DA is to disappear into history; the sooner the better. Regardless of Cape independence happening or not, does not alter the fact that South Africa is a failed state and some other solution must be considered and for the folk of the Western Cape, independence is an option worth pursuing.
@Moses - Pursuing a “dream” that is doomed is rather childish though. Any referendum in South Africa will require all South Africans to vote. This group is a minority. Without the support of the majority or a majority political party in government to argue and win their case for a referendum / cessation - this idea just becomes a negative fantasy. Why would it be acceptable to break a country into pieces? What would stop some group in Durban / Port Elizabeth / East London from also demanding independence? The level of immaturity is astonishing. So when your children are fed-up in your own house - you can just divide your house to grant them individually independence in the same house instead of working together to solve the problems. Surely, if your kids found living at house intolerable they would leave to find independence elsewhere far from your house / home? Why should this matter be any different? Why are South Africans supposed to tolerate this nonsense? Yes, I agree with you the DA is useless, and so is the ANC and the EFF. So the whole DAEFFANC belong to history books. Western Cape under the DA continued to deny the poor South Africans space in good arrears, they instead preferred the wealthy including foreigners to build houses for the rich while chasing the poor out of those lucrative areas. Are we now supposed to believe that Western Cape is interested in the welfare of poor South Africans? The fact that this gross injustice is downplayed does not mean we don’t know about it. Under the DA leadership, Western Cape built open toilets for the poor just like the ANC did - where was this group of people to raise the issue and complain about that injustice for their own poor “countrymen”. I can’t stand hypocrites 😒
@@fisstudies320 Wow where do I start; there is a natural justice issue here. The ANC regime are evil and thoroughly wicked. Being forced to live in a country ruled by these buffoons is tantamount to a life sentence with hard labor. Many do not have the means to leave so are stuck. For me, it is a non event as to whether the ANC regime will agree to secession or not, or whether the constitution will allow it or not. If either the regime are regime supporters are going to be against independence, then that is an obstacle that will need removing. As regards South Africa's constitution; I will not wipe a certain part of my anatomy with it. There is no reason at all why peoples cannot determine their own destiny. There is heaps of examples - take a look at Europe...comparing countries wanting to go on their own to a family household is a bit of a stretch, but I will say this; if Mom or Dad are racist, thieving, incompetent thugs, then other arrangements will need to be made in order to protect the well being of the children. How you can call a people group wanting to determine their future as childish is even more of a stretch. There is no reason at all why peoples should be forced to accept a system that is not working for them. One man one vote in a unitary state has proved to be disaster of epic proportions. Forcing people to accept this and calling them racist is stupid and infantile. It is an excuse that will only impress liberals and left wing thinkers that cannot come up with a valid enough counter proposal. People imposing their will on a minority is not good; I think it is akin to fascism.
@@motionenergy808 Not sure where you learned your history; the only people encountered when the Dutch first arrived in the West Cape were Khoisan. Xhosa never ventured further South than the Fish river except when raiding. Sotho never really left the area we know as Lesotho. South Africa as we no today came about in 1910. I am confident that the West Cape will get self and l expect other minorities will want the same. This will happen with or without ANC or UN blessing. Why anyone would want to maintain the status quo is astounding,
@@motionenergy808 Self determination for a people is a founding principle of the UN, the same is provided for in South Africa's constitution. You need to understand that the South Africa of today is a failed state. Back in the day, one man one vote in a unitary state was chosen and the rest as they say is history. Why anyone would want to maintain that is above me. No that is a silly idea. If a group of people want to determine their own future, then that is their inalienable right. Being forced to live in a system that is a real threat is really silly. Calling someone a racist because they do not like the mess they are living in and want to be on their own is the sort of label sprouted out by an evil, wicked and corrupt regime like the ANC. It may impress ANC academics and apologists. Being forced to accept only one solution or one political ideology is really stupid and I think it is called fascism.
@@motionenergy808 O dear me; it is so easy to believe in the propaganda and drivel that is so prevalent in South Africa today. What does genetics have to do with people living in the Cape when the Dutch arrived first. Believe what you want.
For what it's worth I think the issue here is a financial one, caused by poor governance, greed, and corruption. If it is true that the Western Cape contributes R 185 billion in taxes and is only allocated 25% of that back in order to run the province then we have really lost before we've even started. The problem is probably the same in the other provinces. Nothing will change until the politics change. As well as the DA has done in running the Western Cape they will always be hamstrung financially. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

And this how they divided Africa
Wrong, Africa has always been divided due to corrupt bigoted African governments who usually give in to power and money, like the ANC and EFF. Their radical ways is not how you go about making a country work let alone great. Remember they merely occupy a country, they never built one from the ground up like the Afrikaners did. So they have no clue how to go about governing. Besides, African people on the outside of South Africa do not share your beliefs of a United Africa and history also shows that African tribes all over fough against eachother for land and whatever els was considered valued. Try to self educate rather than listen to gossip or obvious propaganda from people like EFF. ANC included but more so EFF. Remember, much of the land to the South was uninhabited, thus the Boers settled there, some of the land in other directions were inhabited by Khoisan, before the Bantu chased them out and nearly killed them all.
Education my friend, read books.

Secondly , how do you accomodate people that arrive at their own free adult will unanounced and put down a shack in a bush somewhere and then demand housing and services on uninhabitable land?
3rdly. Doesn’t the people in the Eastern Cape have their own property or territory? Why do you want to demand a government house when you already have a house? Shouldn’t that be considered as theft or fraud?
4th. Dont you think it unjust that the people who built the Western Cape, payed their taxes (also to ensure the well-being of their next generation youth), for centuries and generations must get marginalised out of their own province and their kids being robbed of future which their parents built and also paid for with their taxes?
5. How would you respond if the situation was reversed and there was a mass migration of people into the Eastern Cape that started demanding, without having made any social, tax or economic investment into their problems. I guess they wont be welcomed with a cup of tea?
6. What baffles at times with this urbanization deal is how do you as an adult decide to just pack up and leave to want to live in squallor. Shouldn’t you secure a job first?
7. Manythat come from the Eastern Cape wants to have government to build them a house and then they return to EC and rent the house out packing it with multiple ‘backyarders’. What is honest about that?
I’m not a political supporter, but somewhere, the Eastern Cape’s lack of political will to develop its province is being put on the doorstep of the Western Cape to solve. I dont think it is an apartheid or DA issue bro, its structural and systemic. Maybe to a lesser extent also due to a lack of maturity, being lied to or an overwhelming desperation to flee from a province that is hopelessly mismanaged or corrupt to the core

It is clear that the Union of South Africa was forced upon the citizens of Southern Africa by a colonial power which invaded numerous independent states and Kingdoms. The legitimacy of this is questionable at best, and seriously needs to be looked at. Such an invasion as in the situation happening in Namibia where the German Nation is paying reparation could very well be a factor to which Briton should also be held to account.
The ANC and the continuation of divisive racial politics and ideology, supported by foreign governments and organization still does not make a Zulu, suddenly a Xhosa, or a Khoisan suddenly a Matabele etc...etc.....
The centralization of powers on racial structure does not serve any person in South Africa except the few while enslaving numerous Kingdoms, Tribes and Nations......in a "black versus white" narrative.
The succession debate and movement is clearly more than a departure from the Republic of South Africa and the 'Union" subscribed to it by a foreign invading power......
it is more about real freedom, and the unbinding of all the citizens of South Africa from a history of subjugation by one power over another.....decentralized government more in tune and in closer quarters to localized citizenry .......closer, smaller and more responsible government over smaller areas which are easier to control and answerable to its citizenry.
The Rep. of South Africa designed at CODESA in which the 'code for South Africa' was prescribed over millions of people who were themselves never invited to any form of discussion .......(more foreign entities decided the fate of Southern Africa's citizens that South Africans citizens themselves)
The experiment is tried and failed .... and South Africans are Trillions of Dollars poorer .....stolen by a parasitical government who for the most part seem to be servicing a string of international economic hitmen from various foreign organizations who are the major benefactors of South African resources both human and material.
It would be more apt to say that the succession is already happening ..............for the mental emancipation which has begun....it is growing ......
while some would argue or ask............is one willing to die for this?............(sorry, but the was a Mandela ....line.....and look and see where it got us all)

Yesses the audacity
Alan (incorrectly) argues that if we allow the Western Cape to secede, there is nothing that will prevent a proliferation of breakaways ("what stops Hout Bay from seceding from the Western Cape"). That is exactly why Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1993) Article 1 states: ‘The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualities:
1. A permanent population (one could argue that Hout Bay has this, although they do not have unique 'culture' and/or predominant language that is different from the rest of the Western Cape, nor under threat by the rest of the Western Cape)
2. A defined territory (Hout Bay qualifies)
3. A government (if they were part of the new sovereign state, they'd even qualify for this, since the proposed Canton system of governing effectively means that they could be governing themselves)
4. Capacity to enter into relations with other states’ (this is where they'd have difficulty, since as a region, they'd have to prove that they could be economically viable).
I accept that this is a simplification, so I'm happy to have an open discussion about where I might be wrong?

It’s clearly not the answer, because the rest of South Africa don't want the DA to try and save them. Even if every registered voter in the WC voted DA, we still couldn’t lift the ANC out of power.

This will be a success, it would be a Hotspot for travel and tourism.
I don't think so, this separation will be seen as a form apartheid. This is because it will seen as separation along racial lines coloured/white Vs blacks. Secondly, some parts of the Western Cape have actual value (agricultural & tourism), therefore, lossing out on those resources would be a heavy blow to RSA that it can't afford to loss (might use force retain as much as possible). Thirdly, state resources like electricity supply, water supply and transportion would be disband if worst comes worst. Lastly, what is the Western Cape biggest trading partners, would it prosperous in the short/medium term (10-20 years) if it is not allowed to trade with RSA and blacklisted by China?. What sort of trade deals will it have with other countries with an economy less than half the size of RSA?

Not with a real, proper police force, while the rest of SA will crumble and become a hell hole without the goose that laid the golden egg.
I visited the Western Cape SA for the first time in 2020, got stuck under COVID lockdown - but I had a great time. Cape Town is amazing - the landscape, mountains and beaches the best I've ever seen in the world, I met so many nice people of all races, tribes. The Lyft drivers were mostly from Zimbabwe - very educated, hard working and just nice.
The British and Dutch SA are really cool people - the women are as good looking as Swedes but not stuck up - great food, beer and wine.
Obviously SA has lots of problems - the bloody electricity doesn't work and threats of riots and Rwanda, Zimbabwe style things are always "in the air". I wish Cape Town still had dependable, safe train transport as those Taxi Vans were terrorizing the roads.
Best of luck to all the good people in the Western Cape. Maybe autonomy is more realistic than full independence. Why not invite the Russians in to build a safe, model nuclear power plant?
W Cape HAS its own nuclear power station for the last 50 years.
If it does more good than harm. Best of luck guys!
How so Jodey because war will break out? Whe has war ever been good. Remember SA government will never allow the 3rd largest economy to secede.
I wish them too the best.
The leader whould be like white aparthied leader, they must be vicious to control the people. The Blacks are too nice. They must have military in all areas and totally control. Most of the one that push for independance is the whites.
Do you guys need a mechanic? Gauteng is choking me. Good luck guys. What I like is when you said: "not about race...)
I love the thinking. Everyone across the world think only race. Let us show them we have a voice. Keep the peace

No way majority South Africans are to allow part of their country be taken away, this is an insult to African continent as a whole. Africa for Africans, from Cape to Cairo.
Africa belongs to mankind
Alan Windes absolute spineless nature on this issue is quite telling. "What if Hout Bay wants to secede from Cape Town". What the hell. What kind of argument or rationale is that?
Agreed. He fetched that argument from behind his toilet. No wonder the DA never gets anywhere in Parliament. With argumentative ability like that...
It will simply then become the Canton of Hout Bay😄 problem solved
He made no valid points.
However, there is an honest debate we can have post-independence regarding the border and which communities want to be part of the new Cape Republic. If there are some border towns in the WC that want to stay as part of SA then that should be allowed and if there are some border towns in SA that want to join the WC, then it should be allowed as well.
Its perhaps because of these jokers that used to sell "republic of Hout Bay" passports and put up the sign on suikerbossie hill.
What if houtbay succeeds from Cape Town.
Me an intellectual: Yes.
My advice to folks seeking this is to make sure your monetary system is set straight: go to full reserve banking/gold standard if possible. Also choose allies carefully, make sure you're on the good side of Chinese at minimum. Every household should practice using military grade weapons as a back up plan.
Truth is they will not get any independence. South Africa is on country. These people never came with land. They have no right to declare independence on our continent. This is Africa not Europe.

Well, good idea on paper but not practical, at least not short-term. For example, if capitec becomes the bank in the 'new state' will it deregister from South Africa?

What about the reserve bank, military/defence and companies based in WC who'd wanna be part of SA instead? What about millions in WC who'd rather remain in SA?

I thought as much! I always knew that at some point(especially with the development that has happened in South Africa ever since the 2010 world cup),the western cape would want to separate itself from the the rest of South Africa.Remember the western cape is a white people's province(and which oh,by the way are united),so why not shouldn't they have their own province if the development is.Remember,we black South African are just enjoying the lie and the deception that we've been putting on to ourselves for a long time since Mandela died(which was 2013).All these VWs,Audi's,BMWs,public services,innovations,banks is all something that we blacks in South Africa are gonna have to face not very long from now.Either we continue living the deception on ourselves,or accept the truth.Either we submit,or continue lying to ourselves which won't last long enough.

Have you, in your capacity, made an attempt to educate people on how taxes fund government programmes? The majority of ANC supporters, especially in the rural areas don't know. They think that the money comes from the pockets of the ANC.
Also, market the party you want to win come 2024. The EFF is gaining on the DA because it's visible on the ground. It goes to the small towns and villages that the DA and other non-white parties do/will not.

I hope the Cape can go the Brexit model and start to do FTA agreements and tax treaties with countries around the world, ideally with South Africa too so that it can be a great entry point into Africa, a good market itself and also an entry point into the rest of South Africa.

I do agree with Pieter Marais that we should never say never in politics. The position of Mr Winde does not surprise me; the DA is an offshoot of the PFP who have always advocated "one man one vote in a unitary state". Why anybody would still advocate this after witnessing what South Africa has become, astounds me. The bet thing for the DA is to disappear into history; the sooner the better. Regardless of Cape independence happening or not, does not alter the fact that South Africa is a failed state and some other solution must be considered and for the folk of the Western Cape, independence is an option worth pursuing.
@Moses - Pursuing a “dream” that is doomed is rather childish though.
Any referendum in South Africa will require all South Africans to vote. This group is a minority. Without the support of the majority or a majority political party in government to argue and win their case for a referendum / cessation - this idea just becomes a negative fantasy.
Why would it be acceptable to break a country into pieces? What would stop some group in Durban / Port Elizabeth / East London from also demanding independence? The level of immaturity is astonishing.
So when your children are fed-up in your own house - you can just divide your house to grant them individually independence in the same house instead of working together to solve the problems. Surely, if your kids found living at house intolerable they would leave to find independence elsewhere far from your house / home? Why should this matter be any different? Why are South Africans supposed to tolerate this nonsense?
Yes, I agree with you the DA is useless, and so is the ANC and the EFF. So the whole DAEFFANC belong to history books.
Western Cape under the DA continued to deny the poor South Africans space in good arrears, they instead preferred the wealthy including foreigners to build houses for the rich while chasing the poor out of those lucrative areas. Are we now supposed to believe that Western Cape is interested in the welfare of poor South Africans? The fact that this gross injustice is downplayed does not mean we don’t know about it. Under the DA leadership, Western Cape built open toilets for the poor just like the ANC did - where was this group of people to raise the issue and complain about that injustice for their own poor “countrymen”.
I can’t stand hypocrites 😒
@@fisstudies320 Wow where do I start; there is a natural justice issue here. The ANC regime are evil and thoroughly wicked. Being forced to live in a country ruled by these buffoons is tantamount to a life sentence with hard labor. Many do not have the means to leave so are stuck. For me, it is a non event as to whether the ANC regime will agree to secession or not, or whether the constitution will allow it or not. If either the regime are regime supporters are going to be against independence, then that is an obstacle that will need removing. As regards South Africa's constitution; I will not wipe a certain part of my anatomy with it. There is no reason at all why peoples cannot determine their own destiny. There is heaps of examples - take a look at Europe...comparing countries wanting to go on their own to a family household is a bit of a stretch, but I will say this; if Mom or Dad are racist, thieving, incompetent thugs, then other arrangements will need to be made in order to protect the well being of the children. How you can call a people group wanting to determine their future as childish is even more of a stretch. There is no reason at all why peoples should be forced to accept a system that is not working for them. One man one vote in a unitary state has proved to be disaster of epic proportions. Forcing people to accept this and calling them racist is stupid and infantile. It is an excuse that will only impress liberals and left wing thinkers that cannot come up with a valid enough counter proposal. People imposing their will on a minority is not good; I think it is akin to fascism.
@@motionenergy808 Not sure where you learned your history; the only people encountered when the Dutch first arrived in the West Cape were Khoisan. Xhosa never ventured further South than the Fish river except when raiding. Sotho never really left the area we know as Lesotho. South Africa as we no today came about in 1910.
I am confident that the West Cape will get self and l expect other minorities will want the same. This will happen with or without ANC or UN blessing. Why anyone would want to maintain the status quo is astounding,
@@motionenergy808 Self determination for a people is a founding principle of the UN, the same is provided for in South Africa's constitution.
You need to understand that the South Africa of today is a failed state. Back in the day, one man one vote in a unitary state was chosen and the rest as they say is history. Why anyone would want to maintain that is above me. No that is a silly idea.
If a group of people want to determine their own future, then that is their inalienable right. Being forced to live in a system that is a real threat is really silly. Calling someone a racist because they do not like the mess they are living in and want to be on their own is the sort of label sprouted out by an evil, wicked and corrupt regime like the ANC. It may impress ANC academics and apologists. Being forced to accept only one solution or one political ideology is really stupid and I think it is called fascism.
@@motionenergy808 O dear me; it is so easy to believe in the propaganda and drivel that is so prevalent in South Africa today. What does genetics have to do with people living in the Cape when the Dutch arrived first. Believe what you want.
