"It's blindly obvious to everyone living in the Cape that there's no future for SA" - Jack Miller

Recently, Phil Craig of the Cape Independence Advocacy Group spoke to BizNews about the growing support behind the independence movement. While it remains a hot topic, research has found that 58% of people at least want a referendum on Cape independence. Speaking to Alec Hogg, Craig said "46.2% of registered voters in the Western Cape now want Cape independence outright." Craig also noted that most people in the Western Cape are not aware of how bad things are in the rest of the country. However, the recent riots and civil unrest that rocked KZN and parts of Gauteng has opened their eyes to where South Africa may be heading. Echoing this sentiment is Jack Miller, the founder of the Cape Independence Party. Founded in 2007, the political party was started from a "complete and utter disillusionment with the country." Miller told the BizNews Power Hour that "the Cape has been largely insulated to a lot of the destruction seen in other parts of South Africa. I think that it's now becoming blindly obvious to everyone living in the Cape that there is no future for South Africa." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
