The Cape Independence Advocacy Group has welcomed the recent tabling of the Western Cape Provincial Powers Bill, which seeks to devolve national powers to the province. The organisation says the move is in the best interest of the province’s residents.
The Democratic Alliance’s introduction of this bill in the legislature means that if passed, the province would assert existing powers or seek additional powers in areas of policing, public transport and municipal transport.
Founder of the group, Phil Craig says, “It’s clear that South Africa has significant troubles and that many of the constitutional obligations towards the people of South Africa aren’t being met by the national government. In 2019, we saw the Western Cape elect a government for the purposes of trying to achieve the devolution of powers and most specifically, the focus is on policing and rail.
Create a mechanism for the Western Cape Parliament to introduce national legislation in the National Council of Provinces through its delegates.National Government is unwilling to act in the best interests of Western Cape citizens, within & outside the WC’s constitutional competence – the driving force behind the Bill.
