"South Africa cannot be saved, Cape Independence is our only hope," read the leaflets issued by the Cape Independence Party.

Also known as CapeXit, in a nod to Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, the group is one of a couple campaigning for a separate state in Cape Town's Western Cape region ahead of May 29 national and provincial elections.
Small and with little support, theirs is bound to remain a pipedream.

But analysts say the parties' bombastic demand is symptomatic of a wider Western Cape frustration with the central government that is likely to turn into louder calls for devolution.

"The worse the country gets, the more popular Cape independence becomes," said CapeXit leader Jack Miller, 39.
Frustration with the ruling African National Congress (ANC), accused of corruption and mismanagement, is ubiquitous across South Africa as it heads to the polls.

Thirty years after the party came to power bringing an end to apartheid rule, the economy is at a standstill, unemployment sits above 30 percent, poverty is widespread and crime rampant.

Yeah, sounds like racist ou toppies who want their old ways and standards back in a legal manner. Can't blame them except for the racism part.

Yeah handling the country over to blacks really worked out well.

Handing the country over to corrupt people is the issue, not handing the country to 'Blacks'. It was perfectly fine under Nelson Mandelas rule in 1994 for a few years. In fact, we were getting worldwide accolades for things that we did.

Sheesh the racism never ends here. Not every Indian or Black is corrupt ya know... Ya tarring an entire race with the same brush because of a few indviduals actions is quite laughable!

"We have to free ourselves from this black government," a party activist told AFP as he canvassed at a crossroad, before correcting himself and describing the ANC government as simply "corrupt".

Sounds pretty racist to me. He only corrected himself because he was going to be on media. The real problem is that there are corrupt blacks, indians, whites and coloureds who ALL support ANC. That is the issue here.

They can't help but let their racist tendencies out, even our resident P7.898797997 adherent lets the veil slip far too often.
 
These okes are delusional.

They were handing out flyers at some traffic lights close to me a few months ago, all old and middle-aged white men.

No, DA is polling at 59% as seen yesterday so DA is not likely to offer him this post.

hmm - you managed to get it all belly-up.
seems i'll have to take the position of foreign service protocol director, at the new southern republic.

@TheChamp is to be appointed as ambassador of the republic of south africa (the sending nation), to the new southern republic (the receiving nation).
so he will represent the interests of the republic of south africa, and it's resident citizens, in the new utopian southern republic.
a home for him in the lush, leafy and very british suburb of constantia, would work rather splendidly .

he could regularly entertain the neighbors by hosting tea parties and serving traditional high tea offerings like cucumber sandwiches, along with scones topped with clotted cream & strawberries.

he could even befriend a local resident @The_Right_Honourable_Brit , who could possibly take him fox hunting.

Indeed that's pretty damning.

The ANC big-wigs being black is coincidental. I live in Africa. I expect my president to be black all the time, perhaps with the occasional exceptional individual of another race dotted in here and there. It's just demographics. What I don't expect is for him to be a corrupt useless sack of schit like the current one.

Race isn't the problem here. Ethics and morality are.
