President Cyril Ramaphosa has unequivocally rejected any proposals for a referendum on the secession of the Western Cape, asserting that the Republic of South Africa will remain one, sovereign, democratic state as guaranteed by the Constitution.
Responding to inquiries from opposition MPs in Parliament this week, Ramaphosa made it clear that no faction within his Government of National Unity GNU has urged him to explore the possibility of a secession referendum.
I have no intention of considering such a proposal, he stated firmly, reiterating his role in upholding the constitutional framework that binds the nation together, as reported on Newsroom.
