DISCLAIMER:
On 25 March 2026, the Referendum Party merged into Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) to advance its core mission: Cape Independence and the realisation of self-determination through a united political vehicle, supported by a cooperation agreement with the Cape Independence Advocacy Group (CIAG).
The VF Plus already maintains established social media platforms at both national and Western Cape level (@VFPlus), making the continued use of the Referendum Party’s accounts unnecessary within the party structure.
Accordingly, rather than allowing these platforms to go inactive, the Referendum Party has formally donated its social media accounts to a new initiative: Cape First.
Cape First is a grassroots-driven project focused on expanding awareness of self-determination in the Cape as a response to the growing challenges we face. It will complement the work of existing organisations while filling a critical gap in the movement.
These pages will now be rebranded and operated under Cape First going forward.

OUR CAPE. OUR PEOPLE. OUR FUTURE. OUR CHOICE.
7.6 million people. A distinct history, culture and identity. An economy larger than many countries.
We are not merely a subdivision of South Africa.
We are a people with the right to self-determination.
It's time we exercised it.
🚨It’s time for a Western Cape where historical communities can live in safety, dignity, and prosperity.
- Fed up with your culture, language, and traditions not being afforded their proper respect?
- Futurated at the growing difficulties of finding affordable housing for your family and schooling for your children
- Tired of paying ever-higher rates and taxes and seeing nothing in return
- Sick of poor service delivery?
- Had enough of violence and crime in your neighbourhood?
Cape First is in your corner!
We are a grassroots organisation committed to establishing a Cape where the right to self determination comes first. Visit our website to get involved: CapeFirst.co.za
📚🕌DID YOU KNOW? Some of the earliest written records of Afrikaans were produced by the Cape's Muslim community, who used the Arabic script.
Known as Arabic Afrikaans (Arabiese Afrikaans), it emerged during the 19th century, when Cape Muslim scholars adapted Arabic letters to represent Afrikaans words and sounds.
Afrikaans was born here, at The Cape!

Congratulations to @VFPlus and @capexitparty 🎉
47 council seats across the Western Cape, up from 35 in 2021, and almost 90,000 votes.
More and more voters are backing the Cape’s right to decide its own future.
The politics of the future is the politics of self-determination.

IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR TOMORROW'S VOTING ! 🗳️🚨
1. Make sure the IEC official stamps both ballot papers on the back, ideally in front of you, before you cast your vote.
2. Check the IEC website beforehand to confirm which voting station you are registered to vote at: elections.org.za/pw/voter/vo…
3. Bring your South African Smart ID, green barcoded ID book or valid Temporary Identity Certificate. A driver's licence or passport is not sufficient.
✅Remember a vote for a small party that shares your values is not wasted !

🚨 THE CAPE IS OUR HOME. OUR FUTURE MATTERS.
Mass inward migration is changing the character of our communities, placing pressure on housing, services and infrastructure.
We refuse to accept demographic transformation as inevitable.
On 4 November, vote for a party that will put the Cape FIRST.

🚨 DON'T LET THE MYTH OF A "SPLIT VOTE" SILENCE YOUR VOICE!
On Cape Town's party ballot, a vote for a smaller party counts towards THAT party's representation, not the ANC or EFF.
If a referendum on Cape Independence matters to you, vote @capexitparty or @VFPlusWesKaap!

🚲 WHO'S DOING THE PEDALLING - AND WHO'S ENJOYING THE RIDE?

South Africans were told that 1994 would mean the end of race laws.
Instead they have been accelerated.
This is anti-white discrimination, plain and simple.
The Cape didn't vote for this. The Cape doesn't benefit from this. The Cape deserves a non-racial future.
Was it right for Glen Snyman to be accused of fraud?
A country that claims to have moved beyond apartheid should not be policing the racial identities of its own citizens. Glen Snyman was subjected to disciplinary proceedings after identifying as African rather than Coloured on a job application.
Thirty years into democracy, why are we still allowing racial categories to dictate how people are treated?
We cannot build a truly non-racial society while the state continues to divide by race.

🚨 WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS
16 people were Murdered across Cape Town last weekend.
The Cape deserves a Police Service that is accountable to the people it serves. 30 years of ANC-run SAPS have turned parts of Cape Town into a War Zone.
The answer is simple: Devolve Policing Powers.
It’s time the Cape be given the Power to Protect its own People.
The Western Cape Coloured community has suffered just as much as everyone else under the ANC’s Race Laws.
As Con Court Judge Nugent put it himself:
"In the Western Cape nine of each 100 opportunities are made accessible to some 2.8 million Coloured people while 1.9 million Black African people have access to 73."
