The organisation’s resolution comes amid calls from the Cape Independence Advocacy Group and the Cape Independence Party for the Western Cape to become independent.
Kriel said Afriforum recognised there were many people supporting total independence for the Western Cape, while others wanted more powers.
Kriel said legislation allowed only the president to call a referendum, while the Constitution gave the same power to the president and premiers. Meanwhile, DA chief whip Natasha Mazzone said in a statement her party noted Afriforum’s plans to approach the Constitutional Court to force Parliament to change the country’s referendum legislation.
