The ANC’s announcement that it intends to prosecute the Referendum Party for their demonstration on the R62 road at the border of the Western Cape has been taken to a new level, including several false allegations.

The Referendum Party (RP) dismissed ANC criticism of their manifesto launch near the Western Cape border as unfounded and criticized the ANC's lack of introspection and factual accuracy. RP accused the ANC of abandoning the rainbow nation ideal for a black nationalist agenda and failing to implement diversity within their ranks.

The party’s official press release alleged that the RP activists were running a blockade with stop-and-search for black motorists, though no evidence of such behaviour has surfaced.

In the hysterical and poorly-researched public statement, ANC spokeswoman Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri accused the movement of being identical to the extinct neo-nazi Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, and accused the secessionists of blocking black people’s entrance to the country, describing them as “fascist” and “dastardly”.

They also accused the DA of being part of an alleged plot to ethnically cleanse the Cape and turn it into a black-free territory.

The allegations of coercive behaviour appears to originate with a well-known black-nationalist account known for hysterical and mostly fictional anti-white takes on current events and history, @ali_naka.

Footage of the event, at which the RP launched their manifesto, shows no evidence of stop and search, or of even one motorist being stopped or obstructed in any way on the largely deserted rural highway.

At present, the RP claims it is not yet considering libel charges against the racialist ruling party, but have welcomed the investigation.

RP highlighted growing support for Cape Independence, citing dissatisfaction with ANC governance and a desire for self-determination among Western Cape residents. They criticized the DA for reneging on a promised referendum, urging DA leader John Steenhuisen to acknowledge the commitment or undergo a polygraph test.

RP emphasized their commitment to non-racialism and welcomed scrutiny of their actions, refuting claims of racial profiling during their manifesto launch.

They concluded by asserting that Cape Independence is inevitable and urged for an expedited referendum process.
