Every movement that changes history begins with an idea — and a people who believe they can do better.
CapeXit was founded on that belief: that the people of the Western Cape have the wisdom, courage, and right to decide their own future.
For years, our mission has been clear — to secure the Western Cape’s independence through peaceful, democratic, and lawful means. But independence is not only about a line on a map. It’s about what kind of nation we choose to become once we draw that line. That’s why CapeXit has developed a comprehensive set of 35 draft policy documents, grouped into nine key themes, that together form a blueprint for a free, fair, and prosperous Cape Republic.
A Vision Rooted in Principles
These policies are not written for politicians — they are written for people.
They are rooted in the principles that make our movement unique: non-racialism, self-determination, local autonomy, economic freedom, and dignity through opportunity.
They imagine a nation built from the ground up — where communities govern themselves, where the rule of law protects all equally, and where every person is free to work, build, and belong.
From justice and policing to jobs and growth, from education and housing to foreign relations and border control, each policy is guided by one idea:
The people of the Cape deserve to live under a government that serves them, not rules them.
Built by Experts, Shaped by Citizens
These policies are a starting point — not a final document. They are meant to spark conversation, inspire solutions, and invite participation.
We want the people of the Western Cape — residents, professionals, students, farmers, business owners, workers — to read them, challenge them, and help improve them.
To make this possible, CapeXit will host an open and inclusive public engagement process:
- Over the coming months, we will introduce one policy theme per month on our platforms and make our draft policy document available.
- The first discussion will be open to all supporters and followers.
- Subsequent discussions will involve CapeXit members in more detailed review and feedback.
- Before each new cycle, we will hold a Facebook poll to determine which policy category to explore next — ensuring that priorities are set by the people themselves.
This process will help us refine each policy through community insight, debate, and lived experience, ensuring that when independence comes, the Cape’s policies already belong to its people.
Nine Themes — One Future
The policy framework spans every area of governance and public life, covering:
- The Spirit and Objectives of Independence
- Non-Racialism / One Law, One People
- Cape Identity and Minority Rights
- Local Autonomy / Power Back to the People
- Economy and Growth / Make the Cape Prosper
- Justice and Policing / No Mercy for Criminals
- Security, Immigration, and Borders / Secure the Border
- Foreign Relations / Strong Abroad, Free at Home
- Social Upliftment / Dignity Through Opportunity
Each theme is a building block of a new, independent Cape — a place of safety, opportunity, fairness, and freedom.
A Call to Participate
The Cape’s future will not be written by politicians in Pretoria.
It will be written by those who live, work, and raise families here — by people who care enough to take ownership of their destiny.
CapeXit invites you to be part of that future. Read the draft policies. Share your thoughts. Vote in our polls. Take part in shaping the decisions that will define generations to come.
This is not just about independence — it’s about responsibility.
The responsibility to build something better.
The opportunity to show the world that when people are free to govern themselves, they create a society worth belonging to.
Together, we are writing the story of a free Cape — one page, one policy, and one voice at a time.
Join us. Own your future.
Very good objectives!
Where would your views on Christianity, Abortions etc be seen? As a Christian I would like to see specifically what the CapeXit stand for
Yes, valid points. Its about principles and real freedom, not always control and safety … in the end of the day, we should have as parents the right to teach our children the values we want them to have. The freedom to choose remains very important in a free world…. We should also respect each other and stop fighting among each other about petty things, while the ones in power just gets stronger… They are concurring by division
Im not confident in the DA anymore and most other parties are even worse, Money is the root to most evil in this world, and most of politicians ( not all) get funding from mostly the same powers ( Gates, Soros and the NWO). So we need to be careful to consider, before just voting who will truly be in power over our destiny….
The referendum is the key to all future discussions .
By self governance, do you mean that Western Cape Republic will govern ourselves or do you see ethnic groups within the area governing themselves? I’m happy with the first option, but definitely not the second…
This concept sounds good.
Good objectives.
Makes one very hopeful for a bright future here in our cape of good hope.
Key now is to determine a date for a referendum
It’s time to build our own future. Cape independence is nr1 priority. Let’s start now.
Many Cape residents are totally unaware of what we give Pretoria AND WHAT WE GET BACK. Provide the figures more often. Touch a persons pocket then they listen!
This are sustainably brilliant. Now any political voter and party, can see what the independent Cape will be like. Let’s go
This is a great idea, to achieve concensus now, rather than later.
In more practical terms, I want to see all government expenditure captured in a public blockchain to make it completely transparent. No more dodgy deals under the table the public isn’t aware of and no-one takes accountability for. Total transparency will curb the scourge of corruption.
Also, politicians who promise heaven and earth and then simply don’t deliver any of it must be held accountable. There must be some mechanism whereby they can be sued for breach of contract, be held personally responsible, and be relieved of their duties if they fail to perform them, just like any other job contract. The same goes for implementing policies which fall outside of the original mandate on which basis they were voted into power, which their voters never agreed to.
Ratial discrimination should disappear and all be seen equal. Ratial conflict to be avoided at all cost. Service delivery will be shared regularly with citizens. Open communications between and agreement between political members is crucial. Major issues need to be prioritized and corruption shall dissappear. Law enforcement stepped up and criminals be dealt with urnisty. Deportation of illegal people prioritized.
The Cape should be non-aligned, like Switzerland, meaning not to blindly follow the current reigning power in the west or the east. Self interest should be paramount
I am delighted to see how forward thinking this initiate has become, and that public involvement is not only encouraged by done so along structured lines. For me the strongest representation of these ideals is enshrined in a constitution where key issues are clearly defined and paramount to these is the concept of sovereign human rights that are not only properly protected but also not open to conjecture or manipulation by self-serving political ideology that then become enforced through fascist mechanisms of control.
We saw during Covid and BEE type laws how governments begin to assert control that has no proper science or social cohesion yet is still enforced. Narratives that are perpetuated through state organs of media propaganda and social coercion to accept medical procedures etc that violate personal autonomy. While the present South African constitution was hailed as one of the most progressive in the world, we have seen how quickly, under a corruption of governance, racism has yet again become a legal reality, to the detriment of socio-economic structures. How lip-service is paid to bodily autonomy, how freedom of movement is restricted for the so-called “greater good”, how structures are already being proposed to control religious freedom, or how the ‘justice system’ has been weaponised
What I do not want to see is a hard fought independence is subverted into merely becoming a South Africa v2.0
Let’s show the rest of South Africa how a country should be governed successfully.
As long as we aradicate wokeness you have my ear. This where the DA will stumble.
