MK Party MP Mzwanele Manyi proposes scrapping Section 235 of South Africas Constitution, which allows communities to pursue self-rule or secession. This move is met with resistance from CAPEXIT, advocates for Western Cape independence. The Cape independence movement, born from online frustration, has gained traction but faced obstacles. CAPEXIT leader Jack Miller argues that this is a blow to community rights, while Manyi counters that Section 235 is unused and fuels divisiveness. The situation is highlighted by Orania, a town in the Northern Cape that operates independently but remains under national law. Advocacy groups and CAPEXIT are closely watching the developments, with the latter vowing to continue fighting for Western Cape self-determination.
