The 2024 elections are of critical importance to Cape Independence. Only one person has the power to call a referendum on Cape Independence and that is the Premier of the Western Cape. Once every five years we get to vote for or against that Premier and 2024 is our next (and possibly last) opportunity.
Premier Alan Winde has refused to call a referendum on Cape Independence. This is despite his party promising that it would do so before the local government elections in 2021. If we want Cape Independence, then we absolutely have to vote against Premier Alan Winde. This means voting against the DA.
In 2024 there will be three separate ballots. These are:
Two political parties have formally committed themselves to Cape Independence. Please vote for one of these parties (click on each party to visit its website).
The third party, the Cape Independence Party (CIP) sadly did not make the ballot and we recommend that CIP voters vote for one of the other two parties who have Cape Independence in their manifestos
No. If you want Cape Independence to become a reality you must not vote for the DA in 2024. Despite previous promises, the DA have now made it explicitly clear that they will not call a referendum on Cape Independence (unless they are forced by voters to do so). Premier Alan Winde has said, if you want Cape Independence then you must vote for it.
No, voting for either of these two parties will not allow the ANC back into power. Neither of them are willing to vote with the ANC to allow it to form a Western Cape Government. You are effectively voting to force a DA-led Western Cape Government to listen to you on Cape Independence.
Then vote for the Referendum Party. It was created for people exactly like you. It has promised to vote with the DA to allow it to form a Western Cape Government, but to then force that government to call a referendum on Cape Independence.
Then consider voting for the Freedom Front Plus who are offering themselves as an alternative to the DA and who have their own policy positions.
This would have been ideal but in reality the millions of people who support Cape Independence have diverse political views. They agree that we need to be able to make decisions for ourselves, but they differ on what those decisions should be. As parties we will cooperate to deliver Cape Independence, but we each represent a different group of voters.
