S. AFRICAN SISTER SLAMS CAPE INDY MOVEMENT

You’ve heard of Brexit, but have you heard of CapeXit? It’s a movement calling for South Africa’s Western Cape - as well as potentially other parts of the Cape - to break away from the rest of the country.

What little support it currently has comes mainly from the region’s White population, who say Western Cape - currently run by the Democratic Alliance, which has roots in what was the ruling party under apartheid - is better managed than the rest of the country, and better off going it alone.

But in this clip, a South African sister exposes the movement for what it really is: a land project driven by a colonial sense of entitlement to divide Africans even further.

As she notes, White people in South Africa - including in Western Cape - are descended from Dutch colonisers, and hence have no right to be trying to subdivide the country further. If anything, we should be removing borders, not imposing them: as she says, Nigeria is as much her home as Kenya is, and as South Africa - in its entirety - is.

Do you agree with her?
