“Freedom!”
“This is a cry which has echoed down through the centuries, in various forms: Freedom from slavery. Freedom from oppression. Freedom from exploitation. Freedom from unjust laws and unjust taxes. Freedom from … et cetera.
“It is also a cry which has been expressed in modern times in various “of” forms: Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Association. Freedom of Religion … et cetera.
“Sadly, the reality today is far removed from that ideal. The minorities of this country find themselves not just marginalised, but actively discriminated against by a corrupt, inept and blatantly racist regime. A slew of race-based laws are being enforced, and the Western Cape Province—in particular—finds itself in the unenviable situation where it, as the only province which has managed to remain out of the authoritarian grasp of the current regime in terms of voting, is still subject to its heavy-handed rule.
“The Western Cape Province’s population is made up largely of ethnic minorities, who share much of the same culture, language and ideals—alien to the country at large—and yet, is subject to the same, centralised governance that has brought such poverty, unemployment, mismanagement, corruption and crime, to the country as a whole. Now, even private property is under threat by an avaricious and unjust regime.
“This is a province which is largely self-sufficient in terms of agricultural production, manufacturing and the like, and is a tourism Mecca. The people of the Western Cape wish to free themselves from the shackles which hold them back from true freedom, and in this, they can point to many examples of successful countries which have, in a peaceful, orderly and democratic manner, succeeded in doing exactly that. Is it any wonder then, that the cry of “Freedom!” now echoes louder and louder, in the Western Cape? It is an idea whose time has come.”
