Is Independence possible in the Western Cape?
YES IT IS!
The quest for Independence for groups indigenous to the Cape, sharing a common language or languages and culture will be achieved through a peaceful process that is completely legal and legislated in the South African Constitution through the:
South African Law:
Article 235 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa
International Law:
Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
Article 20 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights
CapeXit is an Independence Movement for all people of the Western Cape, regardless of race, religion or political views.
Why a Referendum for secession?
We need the support of 1.6 million people to request a referendum with the South African Government. The Western Cape is also the only province in South Africa that has its own constitution, and within it, there is provision for the Premier to have the power to call a referendum in accordance with national legislation. This is the preferred route to follow to ensure the will of the people are heard.
Failing the government’s approval we will seek the support of the United Nations and other internationally recognised humanitarian bodies, The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights.
Secession is very possible, it is a legitimate action that recognises the will of the people.
- Ireland seceded from UK
- Austria seceded from Germany
- Belgium seceded from Netherlands
- Texas seceded from Mexico
- Pakistan seceded from British India
- Netherlands seceded from Spain
- Eritera seceded from Ethiopia
- Finland seceded from Russia
- Bangladesh seceded from Pakistan
- South Sudan seceded from Sudan
There are many more examples of secession taking place in history. The Western Cape has a legitimate claim to seceed and CapeXit is using all legal means available to achieve this goal.
Will there be a new government? YES!
The citizens of the new country will vote for a new government which will make its employees accountable to the citizens.
We have various committees that will eventually become the interim government, this will be researched and dealt with by the economics committee.
The new currency selected will be aligned with one of the international currencies.
The Swiss Canton system will be the government system of choice allowing the citizens more options for a stable, peaceful and prospective country.
We already have the Table View Canton elected an active as our first elected canton!

Will secession benefit you?
Yes, it will benefit everyone
Secession is the only way to break away from the rule of the ANC government.
The newly elected Government will be directly accountable to Cape Citizens.
The tax income generated in the Cape will be used for the benefit of Cape citizens.
Improved education system, police forces, healthcare system.
Zero tolerance for lawlessness, racism and discrimination and effective changes in housing benefits.
Recognition of your property rights.
Closed and tightly controlled borders to prevent the influx of illegal immigrants.
The Elements of Statehood
It is usually considered that three elements characterise a state. A Territory, a Population and an Effective Government. Those three elements are notably recalled by the Montevideo convention on the rights and duties of states…
