Cape Independence (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

• Cape independence (Afrikaans: Kaapse Onafhanklikheid; isiXhosa: Inkululeko yaseKapa) – also known by the portmanteau CapeXit – is the political movement to make the Western Cape province, and often other regions of the Eastern and Northern Cape provinces, an independent state from the rest of South Africa. The Western Cape province is unique amongst the other provinces in South Africa in that there is no majority racial group, being the most diverse sub-national region in Southern Africa. Just under half of Western Cape inhabitants speak Afrikaans as a first language, with sizeable minorities speaking isiXhosa and English as their first languages. A plurality of the Cape's inhabitants are 'Coloured', a diverse group of people with varying ancestry from Africa, Europe, and Indonesia. (en)
• 開普獨立運動（英語：Cape Independence; 南非語：Kaapse Onafhanklikheid; 豪薩語：Inkululeko yaseKapa），又稱CapeXit，是主張南非西開普省，有時也包括東開普省和北開普省脫離南非獨立的政治運動。 開普獨立運動於2007年在Facebook上誕生，直接起因是對種族隔離結束後新南非政治、經濟日益負面發展的失望。但開普獨立的支持者亦從歷史文化上提出開普地區的獨特性。西開普省是南非唯一黑人人口不佔多數的省分，該省的種族極為多樣化，近一半的人口屬於「有色人」，即歐洲、非洲甚至亞洲血統的混血。 (zh)
