The Western Cape has proven that honest governance and disciplined management deliver real results. But to unlock its full potential, it must gain more control over its finances, policing, and infrastructure—and invest deeply in education. Only by “educating forward” can we build a fairer, more prosperous future for every child and community.
The Cape Independence Party (CAPEXIT) has lodged a criminal case against Stellenbosch Municipality, exposing alleged illegal construction and environmental destruction in the Botmaskop Nature Area—part of the Cape Winelands Biosphere Reserve. The case accuses municipal officials of authorizing roads, sewer lines, and other infrastructure on protected land without required Environmental Impact Assessments, causing severe damage to threatened ecosystems and endangered species. CAPEXIT demands accountability, restoration, and the resignation of Municipal Manager Geraldine Mettler.
When corruption, negligence, and indifference cause thousands of avoidable deaths each year, a government becomes complicit in the suffering of its people. From collapsing hospitals and roads to rising murders and hunger, South Africa’s crisis is one of moral failure. It is time for citizens—especially in the Western Cape—to reclaim their right to self-determination.
An independent Western Cape can achieve both fairness and freedom through a transparent canton-style system of local governance. The proposed Equalization and Standards Act ensures that every community meets minimum service levels for education, healthcare, safety, and infrastructure while rewarding efficiency and accountability. Instead of political redistribution from Pretoria, this model empowers local decision-making with transparent, rules-based funding—proving that independence can unite, not divide, the province.
