[@leaderofthebunch-deadbeat7716]

That's because they aren't native. They came from further north and stole the land from the Khoisan. Ironically, the Boers gave been in at least the Cape for far longer than the Bantu, they came in 1652 and the Bantu only arrived during the Mfecane almost two centuries later

[@patbouwer1637]

They seem to have taken something out of context here perhaps. How would this work strategically and geo politically ? I can see thst the port of simonstown could be very strategically positioned in lieu of the issues of the red sea and the houthis. Actually any port on the west coast will do. South africa could really play an enormous part in future trade between countries The blending as you say it's because the Dutch inter married with the africans and therefore the colored race came about but our original forefathers according to the Bible we came from Noah's 3 sons sham, ham and japheth. Japheth was fair skinned, ham was a black guy where Ethiopia came along and all black people and shem was olive skinned where Indian and colored came from.

The only true Khoekhoe still in existence are here in Namibia. It is not just historical revisionism but legitimizing one of the most horrific periods in human history. Not only is what they say not true, it is horrendously offensive to any Khoekhoe.

The idea of Western Cape independence would be a mute point if the ANC ran the country well. Years if ANC mismanagement, corruption and the lack of ability to create jobs, improve roads, hospitals, supply basic needs like schooling and electricity has meant that some people want to take things into their own hands. There are many people in South Africa who have wanted to play an active role in the betterment of South Africa but have been hamstrung because of the colour of their skin. Instead of retreating into a corner or leaving the country, people are wanting to map their own future. Whether one agrees or not, it’s important to understand why people have come to such an idea…

I fully agree with your position on this issue.

Those who opted to stay, would have had to make peace that they had to become "Africanized" and had to assimilate fully into Africa... That means "mixing" where they live, love, be entertained, shop and relax.... In my opinion, we can still do this.

The "blend" aspect of this topic feels like a desperate attempt by the Cape independence to try and consolidate the colored community. These words "in 1652 the Dutch and Khoi-San began to blend" a poor attempt to demonstrate a cultural overlap between these two races. By trying to basically say that coloured = indigenous, they are fishing for coloured people's votes/support, who make up a majority in the western Cape. If you ask actual khoi-San people across the Cape, across the country (Northern Cape especially) they don't see themselves as colored. And as a black South African man married to an Indian South African woman and rising a 'coloured' child I couldn't agree more, coloured doesn't equal to indigenous.

I'm not a South African but the idea of separation in terms of the Cape is perfectly fine. The country as a whole is badly run by the ANC and African nations have histories of breakway regions .

I still remember when Helen Zille said in 2012/13 that people from the Eastern Cape must leave the Western Cape. She showed so much animosity towards people from the Eastern Cape coming to the Western Cape, you could have sworn they legit needed passports to cross the provincial border. I think this may have given birth to this ridiculous idea, or perhaps that's why the DA might seemingly be getting roped into this idea🤷

[@rekkabcleaningandlaundroma3580]

It's not a matter of animosity it's right intelligent thinking. The people left their homes in the Eastern Cape and when they arrive in Western Cape they immediately demand another house. They just squad on any open land where houses cannot be built without permission. That's called wetlands. The fact of the matter is why all those people ran from their province.

[@jo-d-lo38]

You're smoking strong stuff. They have the right to move anywhere in SA. They move to KZN and Gauteng in their 1000s and you don't see us telling them to move back home. During the Marikana debacle,most of those people on strike were Xhosa from the Eastern Cape. Helen Zille's parents were refugees from East Germany. With her skin tone,she has no right whatsoever to tell people that they are economic refugees. So-called Coloureds need to wake up failing which l foresee huge problems that will be to their detriment. I am mixed race but have never and will never consider myself Coloured. I'm Black. 🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿.

​@@rekkabcleaningandlaundroma3580 I have no idea what you are referring to, but this is what I'm talking about kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoHdo5drfs-Zhacfeature=shared What's wrong with people leaving one province for another in order to better their lives? Fact remains, they are still citizens of that country, regardless of what province they are from. The second we start seeing certain provinces as being so superior that they need to be their own country, that's where we would be failing as a country.

[@user-lf2ov1eu9y]

Well basically if people in the Eastern Cape vote for the DA, the DA will.make the Eastern Cape great, and therefore there will be no need for migration in to the land of the Khoi San and Coloureds.

[@AlbertBormant]

In an August 2023 poll conducted by the CIAG, only 31% of Black respondents agreed that "I believe that South Africa belongs to everyone who lives here regardless of their race", compared with 80% of Coloureds and 88% of Whites.

[@arkuis]

"People in the Western Cape are living their best lives"... it's like Sizwe is willfully ignorant of life on the Cape Flats, minority alienation in South Africa (that forms the majority in the WC), and willful neglect of the province by national government. He is a defender of Gauteng imperialism.

[@annodominimag481]

its certainly bizarre and laughable...but nonetheless history has taught us to not completely write these movements of; and instead take them seriously enough to squash them from the outset so they dont have enough time to germinate and take root - at least by exposing them for the danger they really are. The Boers also started off as separatists and left the Cape in the 1800's and 100 years later had spread their extremist ideas so much as to assume power and begin the official legislation of apartheid

[@thabokomane6105]

I wish Sizwe could have a moderated and adjudicated debate with someone on this subject; he would lose it. Sizwe even hates the self-determination of Orania; of course he has got socialist leanings

[@bernd_das_brot6911]

5:02 but they’re not a minority? A majority suppors independence. Also your definition of when self-determination applies is highly subjective, but just so happens to completely align with what happened with the West Cape. Jeez not off to a great start

[@TJSDU]

The "blend" aspect of this topic feels like a desperate attempt by the Cape independence to try and consolidate the colored community. These words "in 1652 the Dutch and Khoi-San began to blend" a poor attempt to demonstrate a cultural overlap between these two races. By trying to basically say that coloured = indigenous, they are fishing for coloured people's votes/support, who make up a majority in the western Cape. If you ask actual khoi-San people across the Cape, across the country (Northern Cape especially) they don't see themselves as colored. And as a black South African man married to an Indian South African woman and rising a 'coloured' child I couldn't agree more, coloured doesn't equal to indigenous.

The idea of Western Cape as an independent state will never see the light of the day. It is a stupid and reckless idea like the idea of Mangosithu Katsha Buthelezi that demanded Kzn as an independent state out of south Africa and woefully failed . Even this one will fail. Those who do not want to be part of south Africa, they are welcome to get out of our country and go to Europe. We are tired of nonsense 😮.

[@gerhardwillemse4043]

I am living in the Eastern Cape, I fail to understand the allegation of Independence being foolish and delusional. I quote; "Greytown - The Abantu Batho Congress, let by the mayor of the Umvoti local municipality, Philandi P G Mavundla, is advocating the establishment of a sovereign Zulu state in KZN and a self-governing Basotho state in the Free State. It says this vision will progressively extent to the creation of an autonomous Xhosa state in the Eastern Cape." Why not address this together with the RP? Maybe it is time to get away from cadres.

[@kuhlemahlangabeza6639]

Sir, this call is not new. In the 90s we had to contend with the calls by Addriaan Vlok of "Die Volkstaat" and a call for a federal government by IFP of Mangosuthu Buthelezi. Do you know why they failed? Because the call from these two parties were both self-serving and totally distractive. If our freedom was based on the entire country, then what right do we have to start cutting it up. The only problem that needs to be faced by both the Independent Party and Abantu Batho Congress. It is that they have only two options. Either to figure out a way of making South Africa (as a whole) work for everyone, or to simply chose to go to the country of their choice that would pander to their whims. What they are asking for is not an option ...finish and klaar.
