A part of me wishes the Cape Republic to secede because while they say they want a non-racial independent Western Cape, we all know they'll be a centre for white South African culture & all it's associated traits. We'd finally see how stark the comparisons between a white South Africa & a black South Africa are. If for reflection alone. We all know that in time, the more Eurocentric Cape Republic would attain more investments & funds from the developed world but there is no reason the eastern half of South Africa couldn't work to alleviate poverty itself.
Personally, I'm not fond of nomadic life. Maybe it's due to just not needing to know foreign places but I've never felt the urge to leave home to a city for whatever reason. I've only considered it due to peer pressure but it's not a "Plan A" for me. It's not because I hate other ethnicities or races more than disliking being away from a familiar base.
But some seem to thrive on that existence. Only coming home for Easter or Christmas.
And some of these are the white opportunists & nomads that Cape Independence would serve because east of South Africa is the more populated indigenous black "Bantu" lands. While in the west of South Africa, is the depopulated former KhoiSan lands. If you don't see how this all fits - you need to go back to primary school & do some simple puzzles. There really is no genuine connection between the races of South Africa & living in two separate new federal/autonomous regions could be a great solution. In fact, it's a long overdue solution for South Africa in some respects. Not to say racial unity can never exist in the world but it can only exist peacefully in certain circumstances. It would not be a mass migration initially but it would be more allowing certain cultures room to express themselves on their own terms in their own lands.
