Media Gives Zuma a "Free Pass" and Zille is a "punching bag" says Cape Party
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 3:28 PM
Jacob Zuma has gone from being a villain to being untouchable in the eyes of the media, according to Cape Party Deputy Leader Adrian Kay. "Zuma has undergone a metamorphosis in the media, gone are the days when they looked at his leadership critically"Kay alleged that the media was using Helen Zille as a "punching bag" so as to deflect attention from the illegitimate Zuma. "The Prime Minister of the Cape is a target for the ANC-Media simply because she is white. Zuma on the other hand, has on his conscience more than 700 counts of corruption which he refuses to answer to the courts or the public"
Last week the Cape Party said that it would refuse to recognise Zuma as President, saying he had "No dominion over the Cape"." Zuma has won praise from seemingly all in the media and he hasnt even lifted a spade in doing his job."
Kay slammed the media saying that "The Media is complicit in the trivialization of politics on the sub continent, and the prevalence of rubbish from Malema all over the news is testimony to that"
The Cape Party stands for the Independence of the Cape of Good Hope from South Africa

Remove SA Parliament from our land, say Cape Party
Friday, May 08, 2009 1:42 PM
Parliament should be removed from Cape Town according to Cape Party Deputy Leader Adrian Kay. "The foreign South African Parliament should remove itself from our capital"Kay said that the political theatre taking place over the last few days was an attempt by the Occupiers to mislead the public into accepting a government they didn't elect.
"The unelected occupiers are parading around this city and tomorrow they'll go to Tshwane for the coronation of their King" said Kay "He may rule there but he has no dominion over the Cape Republic"
The Cape Party believes that the people of the Western Cape chose to declare the Cape independent on April 22nd. "The Cape is already independent, it only has to be formalized" said Kay, adding that "Its time we served divorce papers on this failed union"

Bravo Adrian! Those are exactly the type of hard-hitting, no-compromise attacks on the ANC and the misruled Azanian state that the Cape independence movement needs to gather momentum and eventually succeed. Forget the DA, it's the Cape Party that's the REAL official opposition in the country now.
My two cents: Constantly compare Zuma with Mugabe, the ANC with ZANU-PF, Tshwane (never Pretoria) with Harare, and Azania (never SA) with Zimbabwe. But be careful, bru. The ANC have never forgotten their terrorist roots, and their goons wouldn't think twice about physically attacking you or the other leaders of the Cape Party. So continue to be brave and outspoken, but please be careful. Your voice speaks for thousands and thousands of us, and we can't afford to lose it. Thanks.
Brilliant post!
Ok, questions it is:
Adrian, what is your party's estimated timetable for complete secession, independence, and international recognition as a sovereign state for the Western Cape?
I ask this so I know when I can expect to move back :)
Secondly, what thoughts have been given on attracting back South Africans with valuable talents and skill sets that left the country after the ANC took over?
I haven't done the maths yet, but with the demographics of 50% (Coloured), 30% (Black) and 20% (White), and birth rates that exceed those of the whites, it would simply mean domination by the coloureds. Is this a bad thing? I haven't thought about it but probably not a good thing. Perhaps, if secession was agreed to, many of the Gauteng based whites would move. The Cape based black component would have to be incentivised to leave. So, would I want to replace one bad situation with another, and then become a country stigmatised and in a perpetual state of red alert, I don't think so. There is no way a white/coloured country will be able to live in peace alongside black African countries.
@ VI
Been thinking about your comments. Don't forget, the cape-born blacks aren't thrilled about the Eastern Cape Xhosa invasion either, so the differences would not be colour-based, and the coloured people will stand alongside the whites as long as there's no return to the 'bad old days'.
I would be interested in knowing whether the constitution would be as inclusive as the South African one is now?
And would foreigners be welcome?!?!
@Viking. It is not as simple as it seems, but if it were possible it would be worth pursuing. Perhaps not for many of us, but certainly for the coloureds.
Another thing, if the Northern Cape were to be included have you seen the size of the border? That will be a massive problem. If the USA has a problem with Mexico, I shudder to think about keeping a starving, seething, desperate continent at bay.
I don't understand.
I love the attitude Adrian, however there are some serious shortfalls where those who don't want you to succeed will tear you apart:
Your "map" includes the current political Western and Northern Cape Provinces BUT only the Western Cape voted the ANC out!
Your stated mission is to return to the days of the "original Cape territory" which includes half of today's political Eastern Cape Province, which was given to the Xhosas in '94 because their population had grown so fast that they needed much more land than they had two hundred years ago!
I suggest therefore that you choose either to follow the "historical route" or the "current political route"... either way you should change your Party Emblem!
Leifur: In case you are wondering, I ain't forgotten your comments at 2552. Will incorporate where relevant into questions for Adrian.
RE: Some of questions; I imagine (namely I suspect), that while Secession is the ultimate goal of the Cape Party, with a general idea of how to get there, legally, etc... they also constantly need to update their route (to Jhb, via Kimberle, or Bloem) to Secession, based on the most recent information available to them, about current events.
I also imagine, they shall welcome feedback, and participating. Hell their website says so: It says OPEN A BRANCH IN YOUR COMMUNITY! That is -- in my view -- an invitation on thier part, for input from people interested in the idea of Secession. I imagine there may be debates, heated debates about how Secession should be achieved. I imagine that shall be healthy. So, I would say; Don't discard the idea, cause you didn't immediately hear the answer you wanted.
As I said to Darren elsewhere, please don't only 'hope', and think others need to do all the work, so you can one day come back to a Seceded Cape. Even if you are abraod, spread the word, or find some way in which you can volunteer for the issue.
I look at it like running the Political Comrades. To run the Comrades, you have got to train, your body, and as much YOUR MIND! You give up on quitting! Vasbyt Manne, kind of thing!
So, how much do you WANT that secession freedom vote medal? Enough to start training?

My only worry is "who's behind the Cape Party?". If it's the same people who were behind the ANC originally and now behind DA and COPE, will "the Cape" become a sort of "reserve Israel"? ie. should Iran nuke Israel will it become the new point of settlement?
VI: You sound like a defeatist.
@HoDD. When it comes to Africa, I probably am. I caution on the side of being overly skeptical, until I see something that could work. Only fools rush in.
I think at the end of the day I just want the ANC out of my life if or when I return to SA.
Someone said on E.TV Mantashe was talking about the Western Cape - the new bantustans and its succession from SA.
Would loved to have viewed it.
I see there are a lot of questions about Cape secession and eventually Cape Independence. I can answer them all, but it would be better to refer you to www.capeparty.com where all the answers can be found. Do yourself and the rest of the people of the Cape a favour and inform yourself of the possibilities.
