Cape Independence on the March: CT protest planned for Freedom Day to push DA into tabling Referendum

Loading player...
Momentum for Cape Independence continues to grow, according to the leading advocacy group's Phil Craig. To illustrate its growing on-the-ground support, the movement is to hold a march through the streets of Cape Town on Wednesday's Freedom Day public holiday. It has approval for 2 000 marchers, who will assemble at the Grand Parade, although Craig reckons anything over 1 000 people would be regarded as a good turnout. Its purpose is to hand over a letter urging the DA to table a private member's bill in Parliament that would enable Referendums to be held at provincial level. This would open the way for an official Referendum on the matter for the Western Cape, which the proponents of independence say is a major step towards transforming the province into a separate country.
