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.
